Answer:

Samantha said she would write a letter to the pastor during winter break.

Explanation:

Samantha said she would write a letter to the pastor during winter break. The original sentence “Samantha said during winter break she would write a letter to the pastor” is wrong because it has a <u>misplaced modifier</u>, which is “during winter break”. By placing it after Samantha, it can be interpreted that it was during winter break that she said that, when the intended meaning is that she is actually writing the letter during winter break. A misplaced modifier can change the meaning of a sentence, or make it illogical.

Answer:

Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a sister with a gift equal to his. “Any woman born with a great gift in the sixteenth century would certainly have gone crazed, shot herself, or ended her days in some lonely cottage outside the village, half witch, half wizard, feared and mocked at. ... publicity in women is detestable.
