The option that correctly expresses the word usage in the sentence is provided below. It is;

  • A. It has a dangling modifier.

A dangling modifier is a word or group of words that describe a noun that was not intended.

In the sentence provided, the dangling modifier is the phrase, "Being a disaster." This phrase incorrectly describes the noun, John instead of the event that was a disaster which is, the flood.

There is a misplacement of the correct noun which is to be modified in the sentence.

Because the noun, John came immediately after the modifying phrase, a reader can misunderstand the sentence to mean that John, instead of the flood was a disaster.

Zielflug [23.3K]
The Mongols spread the use of gunpowder.The Mongols controlled both China and Russia.<span>Pax Mongolica encouraged trade along the Silk Road.

Read the following excerpt from The Age of Innocence, and identify the narrator’s tone regarding Countess Olenska’s behavior.
VashaNatasha [74]

The tone is of <u>strong disapproval.</u>

Explanation:

The passage here presents multiple instances of disapproval of Countess Olenska's behavior

  • <u>the narrator calls her a compromised woman</u>, essentially, one of a loose character.
  • <u>questions her going outside in the' shopping hour</u>', that is, when she has a chance of meeting men outside.
  • <u>her absence when the betrothed couple comes is presented as a relief.</u> She is either ill mannered or her family is ashamed of having her around.

It is evident that the Countess here is being judged on impossible standards.
