Explain Bot To determine which version of the sentence corrects the error in the compound adjective, we first need to identify the error in the original sentence. A compound adjective is formed when two or more words work together to modify a noun. It is important that the words in the compound adjective are correctly joined together with hyphens.
Without the original sentence provided, I won't be able to specifically determine the error and suggest the correct version. However, I can give you an example to help illustrate the concept.
Let's say the original sentence was: "The blue eyed boy was playing in the park."
In this sentence, the compound adjective "blue eyed" is modifying the noun "boy". The error is that it should be written as "blue-eyed" instead, with a hyphen between "blue" and "eyed".
So, a correct version of the sentence would be: "The blue-eyed boy was playing in the park."
To determine the correct version of the sentence in your specific case, you need to identify the compound adjective and see if it is correctly formed with hyphens. You can also consider the context and intended meaning of the sentence to guide you in making the correction.
