In this excerpt from Gordimer's essay, the author discusses the consequences of apartheid. This excerpt is used to reflect on how some things are admired by the white and powerful population for their rarity but are the everyday objects for the poor South because it's all they have. She concludes that image by saying "The penny whistle is a charming piece of musical ingenuity; but it should not always be necessary for a man to make his music out of nothing.".

Through this she says that the poor <em>South</em> uses candles because that's all they've got. She says that it's not that bad to live in Sophiatown (predominantly black region, destroyed during the apartheid) but that it's <em>tragic</em> when you don't have the possibilities of living anywhere else.

kkurt [141]

Answer:

The disagreement in this sentence is misplaced modifier.

Explanation:

A modifier, as the name suggests, is a word or phrase used to modify another element mentioned in the sentence. For that reason, <u>modifiers tend to stand close to the word they refer to in order to avoid ambiguity.</u> <u>A misplaced modifier happens</u> when ambiguity is not avoided. <u>The modifier is placed incorrectly, too far from the word it refers to</u>, which makes it difficult to understand and connect the ideas.

<u>In the sentence we are analyzing here "[s]unny yet dusty" is a misplaced modifier. It makes no sense for the word "sunny" to refer to "traveler" in this context. That means this modifier refers to "destination", but is too far away from it in the structure. One way to correct it is:</u>

The traveler finally arrived at her destination, which was sunny yet dusty.
