Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Elongated hyphens are used to interrupt the flow of ideas in a sentence. They are similar to commas, except that elongated hyphens are normally used to abruptly place emphasis on some parts of a sentence, for example, here: You are the friend - the only friend - who offered to help me.
