Which of the following has a hyphen that's used correctly?

13. Which of the following has a hyphen that's used correctly?
A. They thought it would be a quickly-fought war.
B. Last Friday, we dined at a first-rate restaurant.
C. I like to have buttered-bread in the morning.
D. The un-ripe apple was not red; it was green.

Answer

13. B. Last Friday, we dined at a first-rate restaurant. The compound adjective “first-rate” is correctly hyphenated before “restaurant.” An adverb ending in “-ly,” such as “quickly,” does not require a hyphen with the adjective it modifies; “buttered bread” and “unripe” also require no hyphens.
