Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I started inventing things, and then I couldn't stop, like beavers,

which I know about. People think they cut down trees so they can build dams, but in reality it's because their teeth never stop growing, and if they didn't constantly file them down by cutting through all of those trees, their teeth would start to grow into their own faces, which would kill them. That's how my brain was. Which line best reflects the ambiguity of this excerpt?

Answer:

"I started inventing things, and then I couldn't stop, like beavers."

Explanation:

Ambiguity can be defined as a stated that has more meaning than one.

<u>The phrase that reflects the ambiguity in the excerpt is the first option that states </u><em><u>"I started inventing things, and then I couldn't stop, like beavers."</u></em>

The phrase is ambiguous because the narrator is trying to say that just like beavers never stop getting tired of chewing hardwoods because of new growing teeth, he is never tired of inventing things. When the narrator started inventing things he could not stop just like a beaver does not stop.

So, the correct option is the first one.

Which sentence does not contain misplaced or dangling modifiers?
amm1812
To understand how to figure misplaced / dangling modifiers, we must first understand the message that the sentence is trying to convey to us. So let us take a look at the answer choices:

A. The veterinarian, found in the woods with a broken leg, offered to help the dog.

Was the veterinarian found in the woods with a broken leg? And if so, by whom? And if they had a broken leg, why are they concerned with helping the dog, who seems to be fine?
I do not think that answer A is the right choice, so let's move on.

B. Found in the woods, the veterinarian offered to help the dog with a broken leg.

Aha, at least now the dog has something that requires the help of the veterinarian. But why is the veterinarian being found in the woods? Is he some sort of hermit?
Probably not. Moving on!

C. Found in the woods with a broken leg, the veterinarian offered to help the dog.

Now, we are completely stumped as to what was found in the woods with a broken leg. Because it's unclear, we can dismiss it as an option choice.

D. The veterinarian offered to help the dog found in the woods with a broken leg.

NOW we're onto something! The dog was found in the woods with a broken leg, and the veterinarian offered to help. From the looks of things, this makes the most sense, and therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Hope that helped! =)

How do the graphs in Career Planning for High Schoolers contribute to the content?
belka [17]

Answer: By providing data about careers and annual mean wages.

The graphs that appear in Career Planning for High Schoolers provide data that can help high schoolers decide which path to pursue in terms of career. The information they provide is that of annual wages. Expected wage is a factor that students should consider when deciding what to do with their future. Other factors that are relevant are how demanding a career is, how needed it is in the world, and what your passions and talents are.
