Question

When two words have - between them, what method of development is it?

For example like " smoking-related"

Answer 1

These four methods of development—cause and effect, problem-solution, chronology or narrative, and comparison and contrast—are just a few ways to organize and develop ideas and content in your essays.

These are the main 4 methods of development, which shows relation between the words separated by (-)

Like in

Cause and effect ( smoking- cancer)

Problem and solution (problem-solution pattern is commonly used in identifying something that’s wrong and in contemplating what might be done to remedy the situation)

(Chronological or narrative) method of development might help you find a way to add both interest and content to your essay.

(Comparison-and-contrast )method of development is particularly useful in extending a definition, or anywhere you need to show how a subject is like or unlike another subject.
