This “Emma Sue was delighted when Mr Nguyen returned her perfect calculus test with an ear-to-ear grin” is a misplaced modifier.

<u>Explanation: </u>

A modifier does not describe the word next to it logically, so it is a misplaced modifier. It does not clearly mention the details in a sentence. This can be changed by modifying the sentence as follows: Mr Nguyen showed her correct calculus verification with an ear-to-ear grin, which delighted Emma Sue.

In the given, “with an ear-to-ear grin” denotes the prepositional phrase. It explains test if its target to be Mr Nguyen. In simple, termed as misplaced when the modifier presents after a word and not describes logically.

Why are tone and mood a like?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:If tone is the author's attitude toward a subject, then mood is how we are made to feel as readers, or the emotion evoked by the author. ... Both tone and mood are implied by the author's use of words, so it's easy to see how they come to be used interchangeably.

Consider how “handicap” is a negative word. How does this change our perception if instead we used the words “differently abled”
Gennadij [26K]
People are sensitive. Common words that are used to describe people have suddenly been given a new, underlying meaning of 'you are lesser'. Oftentimes it's not the word itself, but the tone in which it's said. Take 'minor' for example. A minor would perceive that label as offensive if you said it to debunk his/her argument. A minor would engage in a conversation of being unable to drive with the reasoning - "I'm not old enough yet." You could see words as positive or negative only when someone comes along and uses it. Fat used to be adjective, but somehow in today's day and age - or when you got older - it's now a dirty word.

So when you say someone is handicapped, according to today's logic, you're telling them they're imperfect. And that's a bad thing.

Answer:

The option that indicates that the author's purpose is to inform readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar is:

A. The author shares facts and specific details about the difficulty of sailing in the region.

Explanation:

Marco Polo was a Venetian adventurer who lived from 1254 to 1324. "The Travels of Marco Polo" is a book based on his trips and discoveries and written by Rusticiano de Pisa, who met Polo and had the chance to hear the adventurer himself tell the stories.

<u>In the excerpt that can be found online, the author is informing readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar.
