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.

What do you think the speaker means when he says, “Nature’s first green is gold”? in nothing gold can stay
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Now that our speaker has told us that nature is gold before it's green, he goes on to say that gold is the hardest hue, or color, for nature to hold, or keep. So the first color we see in spring doesn't stick around very long. Hold rhymes with gold, which means we've got a rhymed couplet here.
