English

The correct answer is B. A word, phrase, or clause that seems to refer to or modify an unintended word because of its placement in a sentence.

Explanation:

A modifier refers to a word or phrase that describes or modifies others in a sentence and that is essential to understand the meaning of the sentence. On the other hand, a misplaced modifier is a grammatical error that occurs as the modifier is not placed correctly and therefore, the reader might believe it modifies a different word to the one the writer intends. For examples, in the sentence "I saw some flowers going to the school" the words "going to the school" act as misplaced modifier because by placing them at the end it seems the flowers were going to the school and should be corrected as "Going to the school, I saw some flowers". Thus, it is option B the one that defines a misplaced modifier.

Summarise this passage and find the 3 main points. I’ll be giving brainliest
densk [106]

Answer:

Summary:

Writing is a challenge for many, especially when utilizing unfamiliar language and ideas. This challenge never ceases to exist even to the most experienced of writers. As such, it is vital to all writers to properly manage one's time and avoid procrastinating at all costs.

The three main points:

  1. Writing is a difficult task for many
  2. Writing does not get easier with time or experience
  3. Procrastinating will not improve your writing abilities

Explanation:

  1. I gathered this idea from the first sentence which is referred to throughout the entire paragraph as to writing being difficult.
  2. From the second sentence and on, the passage explains how writing does not get any easier with time and how to deal with this agonizing truth.
  3. The final sentence writes about the bad habit of procrastinating and how no one should try to cope with their writer's block by doing this.

When readers come across implied textual evidence, they have to _____. Select all that apply.
weeeeeb [17]

Implied (or implicit) textual evidence is suggested but not directly stated.  When a reader comes across implied textual evidence, they have to:

put together details in the text to draw a conclusion and make educated guesses.  

Reading between the lines is very vague, but you do have to infer (or draw a conclusion) with this technique.  

Finding direct statements in the text that leave no room for doubt is explicit evidence (directly stated).  This is the only one I would not mark.
