Answer 2

The compound words out of the following words are "gentlemen" and "well-built".

• Compound words are words that are made up of two different words giving a single word with appropriate meaning.
• The words "gentlemen" and "well-built" are the words risen when two words are joined together "gentle+men = gentlemen", and "well+built = well-built".
• Whereas the words "successfully" and "breaking" are not compound words as they are consist of a single word.
• "notebook", :snowfall", "hairfall", etc., are few examples of compound words.
• Therefore the correct answer is "gentlemen" and "well-built".
