I don’t know I don’t know
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".

From the choices given, the sentence which creates a logical comparison is:
<span>My company’s profits are higher than those of your company.
When making a logical comparison, it should be that you are to indicate the items being compared. In this case, the speaker's company's profits are being compared explicitly to the other specific company's profits. The word "those" refers to the other specific company's profits.</span>
