Question

select the correct answer.
which sentence appropriately places the hyphen for a line break?
dylan is still recove-ring from his injury.
dylan is still recovering fr-om his injury.
dylan is still recover-ing from his injury.
dylan is still rec-overing from his injury.

Explanation:

To determine the correct hyphen placement for a line break, we follow the rule that a hyphen should be placed between syllables of a word. The word "recovering" is broken into "recover - ing" (correct syllable division: "recover" and "ing"). Let's analyze each option:

• "Dylan is still recove - ring from his injury": "recove" is not a valid syllable of "recovering".
• "Dylan is still recovering fr - om his injury": "fr" is not a valid syllable of "from" (and "from" is a short word, hyphenation here is incorrect).
• "Dylan is still recover - ing from his injury": "recover" and "ing" are valid syllables of "recovering", so this hyphen placement is correct.
• "Dylan is still rec - overing from his injury": "rec" is not a valid syllable of "recovering" (correct syllable division is not "rec - overing").

Answer:

C. Dylan is still recover - ing from his injury. (Note: Assuming the third option is labeled C; if the original options have different labels, adjust the label accordingly based on the option order. The text of the correct option is "Dylan is still recover - ing from his injury".)
