Answer 1

The correct option is A She is a good-looking girl.

The present participle is a participle that ends in -ing.

Option A: "good-looking"- compound adjective; "good" is an adjective and "looking" is a present participle

Option B: "cold-blooded"- compound adjective; "cold" and "blooded" are both adjectives

Option C: "last-minute"- compound adjective; "last" is an adjective and "minute" is a noun

Option D: "smoke-free" is a compound adjective; "smoke" is a noun and "free" is an adjective

Option A is the correct option
