Which sentence in the passage contains an allusion? Jay never felt so scared in his life. He cursed himself for joining the amat

eur boxing club in his town. He was afraid because tonight he was going to be pitted against a fighter known as the Beast. Of course, Jay remembered that the Beast used to be called Little Ernie back in middle school. But the guy facing him tonight was a 180-pound machine. He’d be a prime contender for the heavyweight title. Jay couldn't remember seeing Ernie win any of his fights, though. He always had some bigger boys to fight in his place. But the boys swore that he was the Muhammad Ali of Nashville County. They recalled fights that lasted a single round; they said that Ernie knocked out every opponent with his legendary uppercut. None of this helped to ease Jay's fears. But he still had a lingering doubt. Was Ernie really as good as everyone said he was?

The answer: The sentence in the passage that contains an allusion is: <em>"But the</em> <em>boys swore that he was the </em><em>Muhammad Ali </em><em>of Nashville County."</em> The allusion is to the American professional boxer, one of the greatest boxers of all time. An allulion is a reference to something else, it can be an indirect reference to a person, but it's up to the reader to make the connection.

Rewrite the sentence by correcting the misplaced modifier, squinting modifier, or dangling modifier.
ludmilkaskok [199]

<em>We planned to take a trip to Asia in three years or less.</em>

The modifier "in three years or less" was misplaced.

  • A <u>misplaced modifier</u> is a word or phrase which is separated from the subject it modifies, thus making the sentence syntactically incorrect as well as illogical:<em> I found the </em><u><em>stained</em></u><em> man's hankerchief</em>.
  • A <u>squinting modifier</u> creates ambiguity in a sentence through its placement, by making it unclear which part it modifies (the one that comes before it or the one that comes after it): <em>Combing your hair </em><u><em>softly</em></u><em> detangles it</em>.
  • A <u>dangling modifier</u> gives an information without clearly stating its subject in the sentence. It often consists of "<em>having</em> + past participle" or "<em>being</em> + past participle" constructions, like: <u><em>Being tired after the show</em></u><em>, going straight home was the best plan</em>.

kotegsom [21]
<span>lumbering up the steps 
plodding past me

The two verbs used to describe the way the giant tortoises move are "lumbering" and "plodding". Both of these verbs carry the connotation that something very large is moving awkwardly. Plodding refers to the loud sound it would make when its feet hit the ground, and lumbering describes the awkward way limbs move when they're so big and heavy.</span>
