Provide hyphens where they are needed in these sentences or select NR option if not required.
His fault was that he was a self made man who loved his creator.
Hint:
The hyphen is a punctuation mark which is used to link two or more component words to form a compound word. It marks the boundary of distinct element words within a large compound word.
The correct answer is "self made".
In the above sentence, the speaker is talking of a man whose identity is made by his own hard work and efforts. Here, "self"(own) and "made" are presented as two individual words but actually the speaker wants to express the combined meaning derived from both these words. Thus, these two words must be linked to form the compound word "self-made"(made by one's own) and the hyphen mark should exist between both of them. So, the correct answer is "self made".
