In which sentence does the hyphen correctly divide a word?
a. My little brother laughed at the puppet show.
b. My little brother laughed at the puppet show.
c. My little brother laughed at the puppet show.

Respuesta :

Assume that the word that is divided is "puppet."
The proper syllabication of the word puppet is this one -- pup - pet.
So, "My little brother laughed at the pup-pet show." 
Proper hyphenation is done via syllable by syllable.
