Answer:
Arti-culate.
Explanation:
Hyphenating any word in cases of the word ending at the line is a common occurrence that happens all the time. But about how the hyphenation must be done or how the word should be separated has a bit of a rule into it.
First of all, <u>any word that needs to be hyphenated must be done according to the syllable</u>. For example, the word "purple" must be hyphenated as "pur-ple" with the different syllables put together and then separated by the hyphen. This division of words according to the syllables ensures that the sound or reading of the word isn't changed.
Also, the <u>use of the hyphen mid-word at the end of a line must be done in such a way that the hyphen is in the first line with at least two letters before the hyphen</u>. In this case, the word "articulate" has four syllables which can be divided as "ar/ti/cu/late".
Considering the options provided, "artic-ulate" and "articul-ate" are wrong for they mixed up the syllables. Thus,<u> the correct answer is "arti-culate"</u>.
Ok, so technically, you have to answer if you think that Martys parents suspect if hes keeping the dog, if your answer is No or Yes you write it, then you go back to the book and write from the book whatever it is that supports your answer. then after that you have to explain if you think hes doing a good job hiding the dog.
hope i kind of helped :)
