Solution

failed
failed

The answer is "chocolate covered"

Explanation
Option 1: "noxi door"

This option is not relevant to the sentence provided and does not require hyphenation.

Option 2: "family owned"

The phrase "family owned" should be hyphenated when it is used as a compound adjective before a noun, such as "family-owned business." However, in the sentence provided, it is used as a non-hyphenated phrase following the noun "shop," which is acceptable.

Option 3: "specially made"

The phrase "specially made" does not require hyphenation because it is not used as a compound adjective directly before a noun. It describes how the desserts are made, so it remains unhyphenated.

Option 4: "chocolate covered"

The phrase "chocolate covered" should be hyphenated as "chocolate-covered" when used as a compound adjective before the noun "desserts" to clarify that the desserts are covered in chocolate.

Thesis The is the particular viewpoint or theory for which a historian provides support. The is composed of historical sources that provide support for a historian's viewpoint or theory. Because historical events are not directly observable, and the evidence necessary to support the thesis of an argument may be fragmented or incomplete, it is to prove a thesis with absolute certainty. In light of this, it is the task of historians to provide as evidence as possible to support their theses, thereby providing the most convincing, well-supported interpretation of historical events.
