A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that is not clearly or logically related to the word or words it modifies. The sentence "Still surviving today, the ancient Romans built many stone arch bridges" has a dangling modifier, because it seems like the ancient Romans are still surviving instead of the stone arch bridges. The correct revision is letter B, "The ancient Romans built many stone arch bridges that still survive today." In this sentence it is clear that the writer is saying that the stone arch bridges still survive and not the ancient Romans. Revisions A, C, and D do not make sense as they still suggest the ancient Romans still survive.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

"Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell

The Europeans are presented as unnecessary despots, who foolishly portray themselves as lords, by imposing their rule over others, nothing realizing that they are becoming a laughing stock of the ruled. Imperialists all over history think that they are in control not knowing that they have lost their will power to the people, whom they think they dominate. Like masked people, who have grown to resemble the masks they wear with ingrained habits and prejudices, Europeans must dance to the music that only the crowds know how best to play.

Explanation:

George Orwell's 1936 short story titled: "Shooting an Elephant" describes his experiences as a Burmese colonial police officer, torn in-between loyalty to his official duty and the dictates of his conscience. According to George Orwell, imperialism and colonialism attract the wicked man's reward: lack of appreciation.

From this Newsela Artice, we learn of Jamie Katz a popular Pet Detective, and the amount of effort she and others who are in the same field put into the job of finding lost pets. The narration shows that the job requires hard work.

Some of them include using dogs or cats to trace the pets with their smell and from the location where they were last seen, putting up signs which cost $295, and even employing news footage to get the public aware of the lost pet. Sometimes the Pet Detective might have to deduce a lie from the clients. All of these require a measure of hard work.
