Answer 1

The sentence that correctly uses a hyphen to continue to the line is Sentence 3. "Macie worked tirelessly each day to make her dream of playing pro-Softball come true."

What is the correct use of a hyphen to continue to the line?

A hyphen divides a word where there is not enough space for the word in a line.

The correct use of a hyphen when the writer wants to continue to the line is to divide a word between syllables.  The hyphen rule does not permit dividing a one-syllable word.

In Sentence 1, 'r' separated from detector shows the incorrect use of the hyphen.

In Sentence 2, the hyphen should have occurred between straw and berries.

In Sentence 4, joy is a one-syllable word, which should never be divided with a hyphen.

Thus, the correct use of a hyphen is in Sentence 3.
