Choose an answer
A.A dash
B.A colon
C.A semicolon
D.A hyphen
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 7 letters, starting with "A".
Answer
A hyphen
Why this is the answer
This charade splits "hyphen" into "hy" (sounding like "high") and "phen" (sounding like "fen," a damp marsh) -- and a hyphen joins words together like a tie, often causing writers grammatical headaches.
