Which best defines a misplaced modifier?

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.

In English language, there are five (5) nonfiction text structures and these includes;

II. Description (list): this type of text structure list lot of facts or details about a subject, making use of phrases such as more importantly, for instance, for example, etc.

III. Cause and Effect: it gives the relationship between two things or events in which an occurrence one (cause) leads to the occurrence of another (effect). Signal words such as consequently, because, as a result, therefore, due to, since, etc.

A Venn diagram can be defined as a circular graphical (visual) tool that is used to logically compare and contrast two or more finite objects, persons, events, concepts, etc. The similarities between the two sets of data is indicated with an intersection of the two circles.

Study in University or at?<br>in the corner or at the corner?
oee [108]

In this instance, you would use <em>in </em>university. <em>At </em>is only used before specific terms such as "I am studying <em>at </em>Harvard" or "I am studying <em>at </em>Williams College."

For the second question, context must be applied. If you are talking about the corner of a room, <em>in </em>should be used. However, if you are talking about the corner of a sidewalk or street, <em>on </em>or <em>at </em>would be correct.

I hope I helped!
