English

Answer:

The sentence that contains a misplaced modifier is the following one: The flight was postponed by bad weather for which I had a ticket.

Explanation:

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is separated from the word it modifies or describes. Because of this separation, sentences with this mistake sound awkward. In this case, the misplaced prepotional phrase "for which I had a ticket" is the misplaced modifier. To fix the error and clarify the mistake, the PP should be placed after the word it modifies, "flight".

Which lines in this excerpt from act V of Romeo and Juliet show that Romeo feels guilty about having killed Juliet’s cousin Tyba
Korolek [52]

After Tybalt's death, Romeo recriminates himself:

<span>This gentleman, the Prince's near ally,My very friend, hath got his mortal hurtIn my behalf; my reputation stain'dWith Tybalt's slander.--Tybalt, that an hourHath been my cousin!  O sweet Juliet,Thy beauty hath made me effeminateAnd in my temper soften'd valour's steel! (3.1. 1.109-115)</span>

Romeo is ashamed that he has been weakened in his "valour" and integrity.  Heretofore, he has been known for having been a rational and honourable man.  But, in his "effeminancy" [weakness, powerlessness] he has become emotional and acted tempestuously.

NEED ANSWERS QUICKLY. (BIBLE) NO LINKS BECAUSE I WILL REPORT YOU.
Nuetrik [128]

Explanation:

The biblical Book of Genesis speaks of the relationship between fraternal twins Jacob and Esau, sons of Isaac and Rebecca. The story focuses on Esau's loss of his birthright to Jacob and the conflict that ensued between their descendant nations because of Jacob's deception of their aged and blind father, Isaac, in order to receive Esau's birthright/blessing from Isaac.

Hendrick ter Brugghen, Esau Selling His Birthright, c. 1627.

This conflict was paralleled by the affection the parents had for their favored child: "Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob."[1] Even since conception, their conflict was foreshadowed: "And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD. And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger."[2]

Genesis 25:26[3] states that Esau was born before Jacob, who came out holding on to his older brother's heel as if he was trying to pull Esau back into the womb so that he could be firstborn.[4] The name Jacob means he grasps the heel which is a Hebrew idiom for deceptive behavior.[5]
