    The correct answer is : The well-known artist arrived.

    "well-known" is a compound modifier and, in the sentence above, is used immediately before the noun it modifies. For that reason, it must be hyphenated.

    "chocolate-covered" could be hyphenated as well, but its location in the structure is improper for that use, since it comes after the noun it modifies.
