Answer: A. The child was dropped in the bushes.

 The way the sentence was formed 'Dropped in the bushes, the child found the missing keys' implies that the <em>child</em>  was dropped in the bushes, because there is a misplaced modifier. The correct meaning (<em>the missing keys</em><em> were</em> <em>dropped in the bushes</em>) is easier to perceive by rewriting the sentence: "The child found the missing keys dropped in the bushes."

I’m hoping someone can proof-read my essay. Thanks if you do. .-.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: These are just some simple adjustments I would do. Anything I add or want to say will be in bold or italics, tell me if I get some of them wrong.

I really really really hope this helps :))))

Explanation:

Dr. Peck states “problems call forth our courage and wisdom.” Our pain gets in the way of solving our problems. Dr. Peck is speaking the truth, without a doubt. We stall and and hope our problems will go away. Suppose I need to finish my math homework. I don't understand it, so instead I act as if it’s non-existent. Dr. Peck also states “...attempt to avoid problems.” <em>(btw, that is how you quote part of a sentence, you did it right)</em> Instead we must solve them and meet them head on.

Personally, I feel this work is not to avoid our problems, but to meet them head on with determination and courage. Many people should read this book because it helps with procrastinating.

After we discover and transcend that life is difficult, we can break free of our old habits. Our old habits wear us down like plaque on our teeth.

The work of this excerpt was, indeed, factual. It provided me with a toothbrush to brush the plaque off my teeth. A key to life was handed to me. The data facts and statistics add up fluently so that we can see it in plain sight. <em>(try to sum it up without using too many fillers, like the "key to life was handed to me". It makes you seem like you're stalling.)</em>

how does the figurative language in the correct answer to part a contribute to the meaning of the passage?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

figurative language is a literary technique that authors use to make a point or highlight importance to something, or to help the audience/reader understand something.

Explanation:

I can't help you with specifics because I you didn't attach the passage OR the correct answer to part a, but my answer was just how figurative language generally contributes to the meaning of writing.
