Is the underlined participial phrase correctly placed or misplaced?

English

RoseWind [281]2 years ago

The underlined participial phrase which is "continuing to stir the soup", is placed incorrectly. The correct sentence should be, "The phone rang and my mother, continuing to stir the soup, answered it". Why is it misplaced? Putting the participial phrase at the beginning of the sentence makes it a dangling modifier because it does not clearly state the specific word it modifies. In the corrected sentence, it is clear now who is being described with the phrase "continuing to stir the soup", which is the "mother".

What is a humorous imitation of a popular literary style, genre, or author called?
strojnjashka [21]

The correct answer is parody.

Parody happens when authors try to imitate another piece of literature, or the entire genre, or another author, but do so in a humorous way, or sometimes, even a mocking one.

In literature, we can find a famous example of parody in Alexander Pope's narrative poem 'The R.ape of the Lock,' which is written in order to parody the genre of epic, heroic poems, and their seemingly grand themes.
