A contextual symbol is a symbol whose meaning is not widely recognized by a society or culture, but that can only be recognized within the context or framework of a specific story because these are unique symbols that authors created to serve a certain purpose in the story.

An example of contextual symbol is the White Whale in the Moby-Di.ck novel by Herman Merville, that is said to represent God, the divine or nature as it is powerful and can not be tamed or beaten. This character works as a contextual symbol because it can only be recognized as such by the readers of the novel.

Contextual symbol is a word or object that stands for something else just in the story or situation.

For example . Do you know the sign with a skull and 2 bones crossed behind him) I think you do. . The skull and crossbones stand for poison. So, if you see the symbol( you can try typing it on google) on a box or bucket, please don’t eat what is inside of the container.
It's that simple... Hope it helped

Rewrite the sentence by correcting the misplaced modifier, squinting modifier, or dangling modifier.

ludmilkaskok [199]

We planned to take a trip to Asia in three years or less.

The modifier "in three years or less" was misplaced.

A misplaced modifier is a word or phrase which is separated from the subject it modifies, thus making the sentence syntactically incorrect as well as illogical: I found the stained man's hankerchief.

A squinting modifier creates ambiguity in a sentence through its placement, by making it unclear which part it modifies (the one that comes before it or the one that comes after it): Combing your hair softly detangles it.

A dangling modifier gives an information without clearly stating its subject in the sentence. It often consists of "having + past participle" or "being + past participle" constructions, like: Being tired after the show, going straight home was the best plan.
