People who have ear buds in their ears simply cannot hear danger approaching. All they hear is the pretend soundtrack of their l

ives. People walking with ear buds in cannot hear a dog dashing up behind them nor can they hear the footsteps of a thief or murderer sneaking up behind him or her either. People who drive their cars with ear buds plugged in their ears (an act that is considered a traffic violation in many states) cannot hear a child screaming or a horn blowing in warning. Cell phones are known to be a factor in many car accidents. I won’t even mention how distracting ear buds plugged into a cell phone can be for a student in a classroom setting! We basically have handed a device to students that invites them to not pay attention to the real world around them.
How could the author strengthen his argument about how ear buds are dangerous when used in a car?

A) by telling us about what kind of car he drives
B) by talking about how many car accidents cell phones have caused
C) by making a list of the fatal accidents that occurred last year
D) by adding some statistics from accident reports that involved ear buds

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier? The dog catcher said he would return our dog on Saturday. My uncle served steaks o
Alinara [238K]
Let us first define the meaning of misplaced modifier; it is a word, clause, or phrase that is improperly placed in a sentence which make it refer or modify an unintended word. 
The first, second, and third sentences that are given above sound correct because their modifiers are placed just right.  Only the fourth sentence sounded awkwardly and confusing, because the clause "who lives in New York" is improperly separated from the subject "My aunt", which must be described in the first place, and not the "holidays". 

The sentence will sound and can be understood better if it is written this way,

"My aunt, who lives in New York, is coming home for the holidays."

Writers of the romantic period were concerned with ______________?
balandron [24]
Writers of the Romantic period were concerned with C. describing the beauty of nature and how individuals interact with it.
It is wrong to assume that Romanticism has anything to do with love and romantic feelings only based on the name of this era. As a matter of fact, nature and individualism were far more important motifs than love.

There is a set of twins on the island named Sam and Eric. However, when describing them, Golding regularly refers to them as Sam
Liula [17]
Sam and Eric are twins. Though they are two individuals, they are identified as one with the nickname "Samneric". 

Their companions can't tell them apart so instead of using their names, their friends combined their names and used it to address any one of the twins. 

Samneric do things together.  They think alike. Basically, they are identical in all ways from physical appearance to their characters.
