Talking on the phone, I heard the doorbell ring.
The doorbell rang while I was talking on the phone.

Both of these sentences are correct and do not use dangling modifiers. In the first one, "I" is the correct descriptor of the person talking on the phone, so it makes sense. The second sentence is even clearer.

Which of the following passages best illustrates Farewell to Manzanar as a ‘coming of age' story?

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

C. "..... I had to walk nearly a mile ... yet I made the trip gladly"

Explanation:

'Coming of age' exemplifies a genre that deals with the growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood. Bildungsroman also illustrates the sub-genre of this genre. 'Farewell to Manzanar' depicts the life experiences of Jeanne Wakatsuki. The story of Wakatsuki too displays a coming of age story as it begins with her childhood and moves forward to her growing up as an adult and struggle with the conflicts of life. Thus, the above phrase displays a coming of age story as it talks about the trip(her growth).
