Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The South American continent is home to the world's highest uninterrupt-

ed waterfall, Angel Falls.

When flowing text, it is sometimes preferable to break a word in half so that it continues on another line rather than moving the entire word to the next line.

The word may be divided at the nearest break point between syllables, and a hyphen inserted to indicate that the letters form a word fragment, rather than a full word.

Words, like waterfall are closed compound words, so they do not require a hyphen.

Thus, the correct answer is Option D. The other remaining options are incorrect.
