Explanation
Answer: C - Sandy is a parttime paralegal. Answer C is correct because it uses “parttime” as a compound word that modifies paralegal, and compound modifiers must be hyphenated. “Parttime” should be hyphenated as “part-time.” Answers A, B, and D all use compound words that modify a noun, and in all of those three answers, the hyphenation is correct. Note in Answers B and D that the hyphenation involves more than two words.
