15 points I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS ASAP!!!!! Use the information from the passages to write three to five sentences summariz

ing Helen Keller’s life. Include cited information in your summary.
"The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old" (Keller 23).

"Helen lost her ability to see and hear when she was an infant. With Anne Sullivan's help, Helen learned to communicate with sign language and to read and write with braille. Helen Keller was awarded honorary degrees from multiple universities. Until her death in 1968, she was admired around the world for her perseverance and strength" ("Helen's Story").

Answer:

The correct answer is "two-thirds".

Explanation:

In English, we use "hyphen" (punctuation mark) to join two or more words. These should not be confused with "dashes", who are a longer punctuation mark and have other uses like separate explanatory phrases.

Hyphens are used to join words or terms to avoid confusions and they are written with no space between them and the words. In some cases, they are used to preserve the text's clarity: when adding a prefix (great-grandmother) or when the final and initial letters coincide (co-operate).

In this specific case, "two-thirds" is a fraction, so the hyphens are used to let know the relation between these two words instead of reading them as separated numbers.
