Even though this question has no options, I will provide you with an answer that will most likely be helpful.
Answer:
"Across the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water, and the history of the summer really begins on the evening I drove over there to have dinner with the Tom Buchanans. Daisy was my second cousin once removed, and I'd known Tom in college. And just after the war I spent two days with them in Chicago."
Explanation:
Nick is the narrator in the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. He is, in a way, the link that connects all the characters. Everyone relies on Nick to keep their secrets or to help them achieve their goals.
<u>It is in Chapter 1 that Nick explains his relationship with Tom and Daisy Buchanan. This is the piece of text evidence:</u>
<u>"Across the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water, and the history of the summer really begins on the evening I drove over there to have dinner with the Tom Buchanans. Daisy was my second cousin once removed, and I'd known Tom in college. And just after the war I spent two days with them in Chicago."</u>
Tom is a very wealthy, prejudiced man - a brute with a lot of money - who got to marry Daisy, a beautiful yet superficial girl. Daisy is Gatsby's love interest, and Nick will get caught in between their lies and love affairs.
Let us first define the meaning of misplaced modifier; it is a word, clause, or phrase that is improperly placed in a sentence which make it refer or modify an unintended word.
The first, second, and third sentences that are given above sound correct because their modifiers are placed just right. Only the fourth sentence sounded awkwardly and confusing, because the clause "who lives in New York" is improperly separated from the subject "My aunt", which must be described in the first place, and not the "holidays".
The sentence will sound and can be understood better if it is written this way,
"My aunt, who lives in New York, is coming home for the holidays."
Answer:
B
Explanation:
It really depends on what was underlined. There are two possibilities.
- I think that not a single peace loving State could decline a peace treaty with a neighboring State even though the latter was headed by such fiends and cannibals as Hitler and Ribbentrop.
- Non-aggression pacts are pacts of peace between two States. It was such a pact that Germany proposed to us in 1939.
The first one is irony of the highest order. Though Stalin was correct in his assessment of Hitler and Ribbentrop, he didn't include himself (who may have been the worst of the three), in his description.
The second one is just a definition of what a non-aggression pact was.
I would pick B. The real problem is what is underlined. B is the truth. It was actually Hitler's plan to invade Russia long before it happened. Not only that, he was so confident of victory that he did not order his textile industry to make protective clothing when he did invade Russia. He thought it would be over in Russia long before such clothing was needed.
They gave us the written word where before stories were word of mouth. Even though they wrote in Latin many of the root words are used today in the English language. The gave us measurements like mile, foot and inche. Also Roman numerals are still used, especially in regards to time-pieces. They gave us Christianity. They also introduced some spices and small animals like poultry.
