A dangling modifier is a modifier that incorrectly or ambiguously modifies a word or phrase. Modifiers serve to add more information or context to the sentence.

The choices in the problem all have modifiers at the beginning of the sentence. Because of this, we expect that the word after the modifier should be the one that it's modifying.

We can notice that the modifier in choice C seem to be telling us that the thunderstorm is walking to the movies. This is clearly illogical and not what the sentence is implying. This is therefore a dangling modifier.

ANSWER: C. <span>Walking to the movies, the thunderstorm drenched Cody.</span>

Hello there! I think I have a good explanation to answer your inquiry:

Basically, Bauby is bitter over his physical condition and the fact that he's drooling trapped inside a mental hospital. The patient's sense of wit and mind are going strong, but his physical condition is a repulsively frail annoyance.

Before his illness, Bauby was priviliged and successful; he had tidy fabrics, ate fine dinners, and presumably slept with little worries on his conscience. More relatedly, the now-ill big shot wore cashmere and draped blankets made of the same material on his furniture. Cashmere, to him, symbolizes the wealthy life and proud identity that he longs to have again, but can't because of his sickness.

Which of the following is the best example of a story's historical context?
Mice21 [21]
The correct answer is C. The cultural beliefs of the characters. Cultural beliefs are always related to a certain period in time and keep changing. This is why we can find out what the historical context is by analyzing what the society values. The other answers are mostly universal.
