Attacked by the school bully, the backpack fell from Abner's shoulder - dangling modifier

Susie likes ice cream - clause

her daughter - phrase

Answer:

1. Phrase: her daughter

2. Dangling modifier: Attacked by the school bully, the backpack fell from Abner’s shoulder.

3. Clause: Susie likes ice cream

Explanation:

1. A phrase is a group of words that stand together as a single unit, that does not contain either a subject or a verb, and therefore, it has to be part of a sentence so that it could make sense. "her daughter" has a possessive pronoun and a noun and it needs to be included in a  sentence to make sense, so it is a phrase.

2. A dangling modifier is a modifier that does not clearly state the object it modifies, thus it makes the sentence or the idea confusing. In the sentence,   "Attacked by the school bully" is the modifier (it describes the state or situation of a person). The following clause should have the object it modifies, more specifically, it should clearly state WHO was attacked by the school bully, but it does not, that object is not clear: the backpack fell from Abner's shoulder, but was Abner the one that got attacked, or the school bully? Thus, the sentence has a dangling modifier.

3. A clause is a group of related words that have a subject and a verb. And they may or may not be able to stand on its own, depending on whether they express a complete thought or not. "Susie likes ice cream" has all those characteristics: it has a subject (<em>Susie</em>) and a verb (<em>like</em>) and it does express a complete thought, thus it is an independent clause.

Which is the most precise and concise way to rewrite the following sentence from "A Fable" by Mark Twain?
svlad2 [7]

<span>A.) The subject was dropped, but it was clear that it would be brought up again.</span>

<span>
</span>

The first sentence is the most exact and the most precise because of how the idea is communicated in least amount of words possible.  It is important to keep in mind that when you are writing something that comprehension always goes down the more words there are in a sentence.  Thus, it is always best to communicate with the fewest words possible.  Let’s take a look at another example.  Say you are at a baseball game and a fly ball is coming directly toward you without your knowledge, and the person sitting next to you tries to warn you by saying the following:  “Because of the velocity of a baseball coming in your direction and the potential damage it may cause if it comes into contact with your head because you are not wearing a helmet and because ambulance rides as well as emergency room visits are not fun nor cheap, you should probably seek to get out of the way as soon as possible.”  How would that work?  Now, compare that to the more exact/precise sentence of “Duck!”  See how that works?
