Hey there!

These are cognates.

For example, central in English is also central in Spanish. They're words that sound the same, are spelled nearly the same, and mean the same thing.

Hope this helps!

Which sentence has a misplaced adjective phrase?
DENIUS [597]

The answer is C, "A clown at the fair with pink hair gave me a balloon." The phrase "with pink hair" should be switched to make the sentence "A clown with pink hair at the fair gave me a balloon," so it can properly modify "a clown".
