The following sentence contains dangling modifiers. Rewrite the incorrect sentence so that the meaning is clear.

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 :)

A message to your teacher explaining why your homework is always late

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

I Didn’t Understand the Homework

This excuse works better for science, maths or questions-based homework rather than essays. That doesn't mean it won't fly if the assignment called for you to write at length; you might simply explain how you didn't quite get the idea of what you were supposed to write about.

This excuse hits two birds with one stone when you combine it with 'could you explain it to me?' because you'll get help with your homework and a deadline extension, especially if you actually don’t understand the homework assignment.

Beware of this pitfall: Teacher might ask if you talked with any of your classmates to see if they could explain what you were supposed to do. You might say that you asked your parents or an older sibling for help but avoid mentioning any mate your teacher might know, just in case s/he tries to verify your story.

Explanation:

have a great day!

€) 5. How do Kim's experiences and his feelings about

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Kim's experiences caused him to have negative feelings about himself and his culture. This makes the reader understand why it was difficult for Kim to build his identity, which he is so attached to today.

Explanation:

This question is about "Hello, My Name Is ____" by Jason Kim. In this work Kim shows how his experiences as an Asian American made him ashamed of his ancestry and felt culturally isolated, for several years. Kim tells how desperately he wished he were not Asian and how it took a long time and a long journey of self-knowledge and self-acceptance for him to be able to build the identity he has today and that makes him so comfortable with himself, with his culture and with its positioning around race and descendants.
