The sentence that contains a misplaced modifier is C) With a jump and a meow, the doorbell rang, and the kitten leaped off the couch.
The way this sentence is written, it would seem that the doorbell rang with a jump and a meow, and not the kitten.

The correct answer is C. With a jump and a meow, the doorbell rang, and the kitten leaped off the couch.

In this sentence, since the words "with a jump and a meow" describes the kitten, it should be placed after that phrase. So the sentence should be: The doorbell rang and the kitten leaped off the couch with a jump and a meow.

Identify the verb form in the following sentence. Jeremy will be planting tulips in the spring. A. future perfect progressive B.

lyudmila [28]

Hey there Carlos!

Let's examine this above.

<span>Jeremy will be planting tulips in the spring.

let's take some key point's from this.

</span><span>Jeremy (will) be (planting) tulips in the spring.

The word's "will" and also "planting" are a form of the future tense.

So, in this case, we can cross out both option (c) and also (d).

Option (c) and also (d) are (present), and the sentence is not present, it would be in the future.

So, now we have both option (a) and also (b) as our last options.

This would be considered a "future perfect progressive" because the sentence shows that "he will plant tulips", which shows that this would be a future perfect goal pretty much.

Hope this helps you Carlos, and if you need any more help, never hesitate to ask more question's on Brainly
