Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It was a quasi-judicial proceeding. Answer C is correct because "quasi" used in a compound word is hyphenated if the compound word is used as an adjective-also called a phrasal adjective. Here, "quasi-judicial" is an adjective of proceeding. Answer A is not correct because the hyphenation includes the word ("attorney") that the adjective modifies. Answer B is not correct because "all-knowing" is not used as an adjectival phrase.
