Question
Choose the correct sentence with proper hyphen mark from each of the following:
- He jumped from a two storey building.
- He jumped from a two-storey building.
- He jumped from two-storey-building.
- He jumped from two storey-building.
Hint:
A hyphen (-) is a punctuation mark that’s used to join words or parts of words. Look at the hyphenated word and focus on what it is expressing.
The correct answer is: He jumped from a two-storey building.
Generally, a hyphen is used when two or more words are functioning together as an adjective for the noun they are describing. Here, the words "two" and "storey" describe the noun "building" so they should be hyphenated. Thus the correct answer is option b.
