Which word in this sentence is closed compound joanne lost the final race when her shoelace came undone and she ran out of shoe?

The closed compound word in the sentence is "shoelace".

Here's why:

* Closed compound words are two or more words combined to create a single word, often written without spaces or hyphens.

* "Shoelace" is formed by combining "shoe" and "lace", and it is written as one word.

The other words in the sentence are not closed compound words:

* "final" is a single word.

* "undone" is a single word.

* "shoe" is a single word (even though it's part of the compound "shoelace").
