Read the following excerpt and answer the question that follows. Abridged from Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe Being the third

son of the family and not bred to any trade, my head began to be filled very early with rambling thoughts. My father, who was very ancient, had given me a competent share of learning, as far as house-education and a country free school generally go, and designed me for the law; but I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea; and my inclination to this led me so strongly against the will, nay, the commands of my father, and against all the entreaties and persuasions of my mother and other friends, that there seemed to be something fatal in that propensity of nature, tending directly to the life of misery which was to befall me. What does the historical context of the writing demonstrate or tell you? Even in that time, children and parents disagreed about what was best for the future. Unlike today, children in that time did exactly what their parents wanted them to do. It was unusual in that time for children to take on their parents' careers, as they do today. Children who grew up in that time had their careers decided upon from their birth.

Answer:

The historical context of the writing demonstrates that even in that time, children and parents disagreed about what was best for the future

Explanation:

This excerpt describes a very common situation that as we can see has been a constant through time, parents and kids not always agree on what is the correct path for their lives, commonly, the dreams of the kids or what it could be called true calling is the total opposite of what their parents have always wanted for them.

Which sentence has a misplaced adjective phrase? A. The girl gave a tour of the house with the blue dress. B. The girl next door
irina1246 [14]
The girl gave a tour of the house with the blue dress.

She didn't give a tour "with the help of the blue dress" but in it, therefore the sentence should look like this: The girl with the blue dress gave a tour of the house.
