<span>The correct answer is C. The sentence "Hidden under the doormat, the burglar easily found the spare key" contains a dangling modifier.

When a sentence has an introductory phrase, it should apply to whatever is immediately following it. Therefore, the setup of this sentence implies that the burglar was hidden under the dormat. Of course, this cannot be true. That's why this modifier is incorrect.
A better way to write this sentence would be: "Hidden under the doormat, the key was easily found by the burglar." With this revision, the introductory phrase clearly modifies that which follows it.</span>

In paragraph 11, Hester describes the scarlet letter as too deeply branded in order to suggest that — she is not as affected by
FrozenT [24]

Hester describes the scarlet letter as too deeply branded in order to suggest that:

C. her shame is permanent, regardless of her punishment.

  • This question is about the novel "The Scarlet Letter," by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

  • The story is set in Puritan Boston, in the 1600's.

  • Hester is the main character. She is publicly humiliated for giving birth to a daughter after having an affair.

  • Hester is forced to wear a scarlet (red) letter A embroidered in her clothes.

  • The A stands for "adultery", which is the sin she is being accused of.

  • The shame she and her daughter are subjected to is so deep and hurtful that Hester cannot seem to ever be able to get rid of it.

  • Even if she does not wear the letter, her sin and, even worse, her shame and the humiliation she went through will always be with her.

  • In conclusion, having the information above in mind, we can say that Hester means that her shame is permanent when she says the letter is too deeply branded.
