Okay shmoop er's we've got another section of eleven different

00:05

scintillating questions to test your brain Eso whether you can

00:09

analyze writing and we're going to skin this finally titled

00:14

technologies to reduce water usage at our planes All right

00:19

key topics here All right so we're looking for underline

00:21

words and thinking paranoia Clea what They mean almost like

00:25

anyone but steam turbines and lack of power guarantees Colin

00:27

can you notice the heating cooling towers that i lied

00:29

about watering atmosphere of operation or other cooling like way

00:31

back in the day A hundred billion is used for

00:33

the unit was under active voice thing There's no way

00:36

You're gonna cost me for killing your affect earlier That

00:39

he's everywhere you go michael doesn't want indian temple where

00:42

a cool design there were driving Right Chart here went

00:43

through recirculating and dry cooling place Like i'm going to

00:46

use that lesson there will use recycled water Okay well

00:50

here it is First one thermo electric power generating stations

00:54

That thing is underlines Let's Go up and find it

00:57

in the text And it's right there in the first

00:59

sentence Most of the electricity in the u s is

01:01

produced using steam turbines in thermo electric power generating stations

01:06

that use coal natural gas or nuclear power to generate

01:10

heat All right Uh we're wondering what's wrong with that

01:13

Well let's see subtle things here Well because the station's

01:17

generate power they could be described as stations that are

01:20

power generating See the little dash in there together Those

01:24

two words function as a compound adjective so they should

01:28

be hyphenated are conjoined when they appear before the noun

01:32

they modified So there's a little dash thing that goes

01:34

in there Yeah These people are really picky Who write

01:37

the test in this case the now they modify is

01:40

stations so it doesn't get any of the hyphenate ng

01:43

fun The word thermo electric describes the type of power

01:47

being generated and it can sit next to power without

01:50

a comma hyphen or anything else Because those guys are

01:52

accumulative adjective buds right Well without any hyphen in all

01:56

the meaning of the descriptions kind of unclear Are the

01:58

stations them so selves Thermo electric is the power they

02:02

generate Thermo electric well without a trustee hyphen we can't

02:06

be sure we could put a comma after thermo electric

02:09

But it describes the type of power being generated In

02:12

other words we're looking at a cumulative adjective not a

02:15

co ordinate One came out of the coordinate smackdown Yeah

02:18

you got to know death Speaking of things that don't

02:20

make sense well there's also no reason at a hyphen

02:22

between generating and stations stations is a noun announced Do

02:25

not engage in hyphenation with adjectives They're introverts like that

02:30

and we think that's forbidden in the bible but not 00:02:33.34 --> [endTime] sure
