Which line in this excerpt from Richard Connell's “The Most Dangerous Game” uses personification? "The old charts call it `Ship-

Trap Island,"' Whitney replied. “A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition—-" "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht. "You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh, "andI've seen you pick off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night." "Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet."

Summery of the moral survival guilt
melamori03 [73]
It is a way soldiers impose moral order on the chaos and awful randomness of war's violence. It is a way they humanize war for themselves, for their buddies, and for civilians, too. Though Aristotle doesn't himself talk about guilt, it is the emotion that best expresses the conflict—the desire or obligation to help frustrated by the inability, through no fault of one's own, to do so. To not feel the guilt is to be numb to those pulls.

Which corrects the misplaced or dangling modifier in the sentence below? Leaving the cottage, the front door was locked.
larisa86 [58]
The correct answer is:  

B) Leaving the cottage, the happy couple made sure to lock the front door.   
<span>
The modifier “leaving the cottage” refers to the subject ‘the happy couple’ and in the sentence, it is clear that the modifier is describing the subject. The phrase isn’t misplaced anymore and thus not a dangling modifier anymore.</span>
