which sentence needs a hyphen?

a. she rode her motor scooter in front of the house.

b. we will be visiting the history museum.

c. he was born in texas in the mid 1950s.

d. the television station was broadcasting live.

Explanation:

Compound adjectives like "mid" before a number (e.g., "1950s") require a hyphen. The correct form is "mid-1950s", so option C needs a hyphen. Other options use correct compound nouns or phrases without hyphenation needs.

Answer:

C. He was born in Texas in the mid 1950s.
