Question 5 • PARTA - EVP: PGCPS ENGLISH 12 OC (FALL2026) 791113

Read the sentence.The shop next door, which is family owned, creates specially made, chocolate covered desserts.

Answer
A
“next door”
B
“family owned”
C
“specially made”
D
“chocolate covered”

Explanation

“Chocolate covered” comes directly before and describes “desserts,” so it forms a compound modifier and should be hyphenated: “chocolate-covered desserts.” “Specially” ends in -ly, so “specially made” does not need a hyphen; “family owned” follows “is,” and “next door” is also written without a hyphen here.
