Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this sentence, "twenty-five" should be hyphenated because it is a compound adjective modifying "employees." The hyphen helps clarify that "part-time" applies to "employees" as a whole, rather than just "time." Additionally, there should be a hyphen between "part" and "time" to combine them into a single adjective.
