Answer:

The revision that best corrects the error in the sentence is the following one: I noticed that several key plot elements were missing from the movie after I read the book.

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. In the original sentence, the participle "after reading the book it was based on" does not include the word/phrase it modifies, making the sentence sound odd. Therefore, the revision should include said word or phrase.

The best version of the sentence is the one chosen because it is correctly punctuated and it does not sound odd. Moreover, it includes all the information of the original sentence. The information included in the present participle is now an adverb clause of time (after I read the book) and thus the problem has been solved. The new version of the sentence also makes explicit the doer of the action, that is, the person doing the reading (I). The dangling modifier version made it look as if the one doing the reading was "several key plot elements".

podryga [215]

Answer: He should raise his hand, wait to be called on, and inform the moderator that the group is no longer on topic.

Explanation:

For number one: The group ran off topic, he shouldn't wait until the next meeting to get back on topic. He's getting himself in trouble by tuning into the off topic conversation.

For number two: He's basically doing the same thing as number one. He had an idea for the topic not a side conversation.  

For number four: It's rude. It could work but it would most likely cause trouble.

Hope this helps.

Shelley’s "To a Skylark" is an ode, but the term ode does not show up in the title or the text itself. How exactly do you know t
slega [8]

Answer:

To A Skylark is Shelley's romantic ode to a small songbird he believed embodied joy and happiness.

Explanation:

The skylark's song surpasses all music; it is a divine expression, an ideal beyond the reach of humans, who know happiness only through sadness.

If only the lark could teach the poet and reveal <em>'half the gladness/That thy brain must know, -</em> then people might listen to the poet and be transformed. But can this ever be achieved?

The poem is sparked by inspiration, fueled by aspiration and carries a philosophical insight.

  • For Shelley the skylark is a divine entity, something more than flesh, blood and feather. It is a symbol of spiritual upliftment and represents all that humans strive for but can never attain, freedom from the stresses and pain of mortal life.
  • Throughout the 21 stanzas the poet explores this realm of spirituality, comparing the bird with numerous things: a cloud of fire, a star of Heaven, a rose and so on.
  • The idea that the bird and its song transcend the limits of earthly existence and that the bird has an inner knowledge potentially available to humanity is fundamental to the poem and creates a subtle tension.

The poet's approach to this singing bird is fervently romantic, that is, Shelley took inspiration from the natural world, believing it to be an expression of the divine.

A. regionalism is a form of realism that emphasizes realistic setting, using local dialect, customs, and other specific details
vovangra [49]
For the answer to the question above, 

For century America the Civil War and westward expansion created numerous changes in society and politics. American artists turned to realism and regionalism to comment on the new concerns of the time period such as the ongoing struggle of the working class as well as the societal elevation of the middle class. Artists documented these national transformations by creating removed, impartial depictions of everyday life. In order to bring their characters and setting to life to allow their readers to become fully engulfed in their stories, Mark Twain in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Kate Chopin in The Awakening employed regionalism while Henry James depicted real life in real time using realism in his story Daisy Miller: A Study.

Mark Twain and Kate Chopin were experts at creating regionalist works. Regionalism refers to texts that concentrate heavily on specific, unique features of a certain region including dialect, customs, tradition, topography, history, and characters. It focuses on the formal and the informal, analyzing the attitudes characters have towards one another and their community as a whole. The narrator is particularly important in regionalist fiction for he or she serves as a translator, making the region understandable for the reader. In his masterpiece The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain's use of regionalism brings the reader right into the heart of the 19th century wild American West. Twain brings to the local to life. From the very beginning of the novel Twain tells his reader, "In this book a number of dialects are used, to wit: the Missouri negro dialect, the extremist form of the backwoods South-Western dialects; the ordinary "Pike-Country" dialect; and four modified varieties of this last" (Twain, pg. 108). Twain guides his reader, using the vernacular, directly into the scene so you feel as if you are right next to Huck Finn, floating down the Mississippi River, as he dictates the story to you. Lack of grammar, incorrect sentence structure and words that you would never find in the English dictionary compose Huck's language and allow the reader to get a feel for his character as well as the customs of the specific region he comes from. The local color stories he describes throughout the novel give the reader a representation of the region in which he dwells and travels.
