The dangling modifier is "Running around the building, the bushes..." This means that the BUSHES are running around the building since whatever comes after the modifier is modified. However, we want the sentence to mean that the girl is running around the building, not the bushes. Therefore, we can rewrite the sentence in a way where the girl comes immediately after the modifier instead of the bushes. 

For example, "Running around the building, she was nearly blocked by the bushes." The pronoun "she" comes right after the modifier, which fixes the dangling modifier.

Hope I helped :)

At which body of water does the Nile river end
Scrat [10]
If you look at a map of the Nile, you'll see it has a bunch of tributaries (Lake Victoria, Lake Kyoga, Lake Albert and Lake Tana) but those aren't where it ends, that's where it begins. The Nile River flows north because of the elevation, and it ends up in the Mediterranean Sea.<span />

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Cooks normally use butter or eggs to baste meat so it has a glazed, brown look.

Explanation:

In simple words, baste is a slang used by cooking experts. It refers to moisten a food, generally meat like turkey and chicken, so it would not dry while getting cooked and end up being flavorless. Usually the baste is done by using butter or other such fat products.

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is the last one.

Why is it important to remain mature at all times? (3 paragraph minimum.)
GrogVix [38]
Being mature is very important in life. First of all it’s a key component in getting into a good job. Let’s your in a job interview and someone rips there shirt. Obviously you would wanna laugh but the person doing the interview is gonna look at you and think how ignorant that was of you.

Next, people’s feelings. This may not sound like a big deal but don’t you just hate when you get made fun of! So let’s say someone accidentally falls and you laugh. That’s very immature of you and the persons feelings are gonna obviously be hurt. Now everyone around you is gonna think your rude. This could end up in you losing a lot of friends.

Lastly, being mature is gonna help you succeed at life in general. If your 40 and your still laughing at ignorant,rude,un mature jokes trust me your not gonna really get anywhere in life. Everyone is gonna see you as this stupid ignorant person that laughs or is rude about everything.
