Which sentence contains a dangling modifier?

1 answer:

8 0

The sentence that contains the dangling modifier is this: IN A RUSH, THE SLOW TRAFFIC WAS GRATING ON MY NERVES.
A dangling modifier refers to an ambiguous grammatical expression, that is constructed in such a way that, it makes it very easy for the grammatical modifier in the sentence to be associated with the wrong word or with no word at all.
Sentences with dangling modifiers should be re-written in such a way that it will be very easy to recognize the word that the modifier is modifying.
In the statement given in option A, it can be seen that it is very difficult to know who or what the rush is referring to; we can not say for sure may be it is the writer that is in a rush or may it is the slow traffic that is grating her nerves in a rushing manner.<span />

Write a letter to your mother asking her about her health and stating that you miss her a lot

inysia [295]

Answer:

Dear mother,

I hope this letter will find you in the best of health and fitness. It is after a long time I am writing you as I was busy with my examination. Now the examination is over and I am free to talk a lot to you.

First, let me know about your health. In fact, I was very worried to learn about the deteriorating condition of health ever since I learnt this. You have been very careless towards your health. You have always been very concerned for the needs and well-being of each and every member of the family but at the cost of your health and comfort. It is the result of your careless attitude that your health is deteriorating. It is a matter of great concern for all of us. If you will not be in good health and fitness, who will take care of us? It is you who are always there to care for us either it are our education, health or any other matter. So, do not ignore yourself. Take care of yourself.

How is Aashu? How is her study? She is not very sincere to her studies. She wastes her time in video games and other meaningless activities. She needs your particular attention. I am eagerly waiting for the summer break so that I can see you. It seems that I have been away for long from home.

With best regards.

Your loving son, (Name)
