The correct answer is D. The children giggled at the elephants sprouting plums of water through their trunks.

That is the only option that makes it absolutely clear which words the modifier really modifies (elephants). The A and C examples make it sound as if the children had trunks and sprouted plums of water through them. The B example makes it clear that it's the elephants that we're talking about, but it doesn't work well in terms of syntax. Only the last option is well structured and clear.

In three to four sentences, describe how Poe uses imagery and sound devices to create mood in "The Raven.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Sample Response: <span>Poe uses images that appeal to the senses of sound, sight, and touch. At first, these images create a gloomy, mysterious, and tense mood. Then, the mood becomes haunting. Sound devices, such as the repetition of the name “Lenore” and its constant rhyming with “nevermore,” create a slow, haunting sound that further contributes to the spooky mood.</span>

Which two topics are best for classification writing?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:Locate the top three Mexican restaurants in Maine.  Identify the four most nutritious types of food.

Explanation:Classification is sorting things into groups or categories. It can be also be considered as a simple division. In this case, the two chosen topics are best for classification writing because they allow to develop a general subject (Mexican restaurants, and Nutritious food) and then divide those subjects into smaller categories like, the Mexican restaurants in Main, then the best and the worst Mexican restaurants in Maine or the most nutritious types of food, in this way, we can later select the number of elements required in each case (3 restaurants, 4 types of food)
