2. The "man eating" alligator was captured by " quick thinking" wildlife officers.
3. I have sent you a "three page" summary multiple times.
4. Mrs. Kowalski, our "next door" neighbor, is a kind, "warm hearted" person.

Answer 1

The sentence with correctly punctuated compound adjectives is:

1. The "well known" athlete was recognized wherever she went.

In this case, "well known" is correctly punctuated as a compound adjective. The others contain errors in punctuation or structure related to their compound adjectives. For example, "man eating" should be hyphenated as "man-eating," and "three page" should be "three-page." "Next door" and "warm hearted" should also be hyphenated as "next-door" and "warm-hearted."
