Answer: And Buck was truly a red-eyed devil, as he drew himself together for the spring, hair bristling, mouth foaming, a mad glitter in his blood-shot eyes. Straight at the man he launched his one hundred and forty pounds of fury, surcharged with the pent passion of two days and nights.

Explanation:

We need to use a hyphen when we are transforming a group of two words or more into an adjective. That is, when those words characterize a noun and are placed right before it, they should have a hyphen between them.

In this excerpt, red-eyed is characterizing devil, and blood-shot is characterizing eyes. The other options given are not functioning as adjectives to a noun and, therefore, do not need the hyphen.

Check out some examples that show when to use it:

I live in a middle-class neighborhood.

I want to live in a neighborhood that is middle class.

Plagiarism quiz
GaryK [48]
Something is plagiarism if one takes material from another source and uses it without pointing toward that source, thus making it appear that it is originally written.

1. No, this is not plagiarism since she herself is the original writer, thus she is not stealing content from anybody else.<span>

2. According to Casey Berry of Sciences Ltd., "Only 6% of students wash their hands after class." This first choice is not plagiarism, since the student has cited the researcher Casey Berry, and has enclosed the directly copied statement in quotation marks. In contrast, the second choice mentions "a recent study" without any direct mention of who did the study, and it copies the conclusion verbatim without using quotation marks.

3. This is not plagiarism, since she places a hyperlink to the source, thus acknowledging that what she has written is not her own original material. However, this is considered bad practice, to simply link to a source without describing what it has done or which parts specifically you have taken from it. You would not probably be sued in court for plagiarism, but it is still advisable to describe what the source has done.

4. No, this is not plagiarism. He has used quotation marks for direct quotes. The paraphrased information does not need quotation marks. Hyperlinks and attributions have been provided for each, so there are no issues with this kind of writing.

5. Yes, this is plagiarism. The BlogMutt writer got information from another post (which may or may not have been original material, we do not know), and did not attribute that post. Furthermore, this write-up is for a customer, not merely for discussion in forums, so pretending that the information on the post is his own is not only plagiarism, but it is also business dishonesty as he is stealing someone's work and selling it to a customer as his own.</span>

What significance does the repetition of the world of raga have in this excerpt from "Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot Les
Bogdan [553]
Raga is a piece of Indian music that is rhythmic and used spontaneously.

The use of repetition in the line "I sing a mad raga/I sing a mad raga/a glad raga...is being used as a sort of call to arms, a mantra, a chant for equality in our society. It is something that people could copy and easily remember. 

The use of reception of the word is also a form of anaphora. Used before each new idea, it makes the idea itself stand out. raga of yellow/raga of mellow/raga of new/raga of old/raga of blue/raga of gold.
