The correct answer is A. The balloon was tied to the post before it floated away.

Explanation:

In grammar, a modifier is a word or set of words that describe a noun or any other element. Additionally, a misplaced modifier occurs as the modifier has not been placed beside the word it modifies and therefore the meaning is unclear as the reader does not know which word is the modifier describing. In the case presented, the sentence with a misplaced modifier is "The balloon was tied to the post before it floated away" because in this case the modifier "before it floated away" has not placed beside the word it modifies (the ballon) and therefore it is not clear whether it was the post or the ballon the one that floated away.

swat32

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

1. Given that the word incognito means to hide the real identity. Hence, Online Learning, Social Media, and Halloween relate to the word incognito in a way that each of these is an avenue for people to hide their real or true identity.

For example, on social media like twittér, one can use fake pictures and maintain a fake profile. The same thing applies to Online learning, as an undergraduate student may claim to be a Ph.D. holder. This is similar to Halloween as well where people wear different costumes to hide their true identity.

2. Social Media can make you less incognito in the sense that, you may knowingly or unknowingly reveal your true identity by uploading your real pictures and maintain your real profile. Hence, making you less incognito.

Answer:

- States.

Explanation:

As per the question, the various periods of sleep from quiet sleep to actively moving about and crying would be called '<u>states</u>'. Psychologically, the sleep cycle consists of four to five distinct stages beginning from drowsiness in Rapid Eye Movement to deep non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep. Stage 2 involves the active sleep in which the child is witnessed actively moving and tweaking arms and legs while the 'quiet sleep' is demonstrated as the final stage 5 in which the infant's sleep becomes more sound and progressively deeper. Thus, these periods are characterized as 'states'.
