In reading and comprehension, even if you don't know the definition of the word, you can still somehow get its meaning through context clues. From the word itself, context clues are hint words that tell you the context of what you're reading. In this example, the word is odious. Without looking at the dictionary, we might guess that it means something disgusting or offensive because the narrator refers to it with 'unutterable loathing'. From that expression, you get the context that he hates it so much down to his core that he can't wait to get away from it.  Therefore, the answer is letter C.

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier? We take our new puppy, Champ, to dog training classes at the park. After working w
sdas [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>A. We take our new puppy, Champ, to dog training classes at the park. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

When talking of modifying, it means changing or altering the structure of something and giving it a new form. Therefore a sentence can be modified to establish a different meaning or provide a precise meaning on what had already been written. It can also limit the use of some words, add more, and also clarify others.

Modifiers describe the adverbs and adjectives and other essential phrases in a sentence. However, the problem with modifiers is finding a place to add them in a sentence because they cause confusion.
