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>

Explain how this paragraph fits into the larger structure of Thoreau’s essay. Then, evaluate the effectiveness of the introducti
RSB [31]

Answer: This paragraph fits into the larger structure of Thoreau’s essay since it is the introduction paragraph and provides his claims as well as what he believes in his arguments to support the overall essay. The effectiveness of how clear, convincing, and engaging the introduction is is very effective since Thoreau is listing logical reasons, claims, and his arguments in order to let the reader know what to expect as well as what he will demonstrate in the essay. In the introduction paragraph, Thoreau states that “Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government…”. Here he states his opening evidence to support his claims and argument.

Hope this helped! Please mark as brainliest!
