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.

PLEASE HELP
barxatty [35]

Answer:

I would say the bottom left = box 1, and bottom right= box 2.

Explanation:

The bottom left box is stating that he is taking what little knowledge he has of that route, to decide if he wants to go down that path or not.

The bottom right box is stating that he is glad that he had chosen to go down that path that was overgrown, because the destination was beautiful.

I hope this helps :)

Only by paying attention to the context in which a word is employed can the reader determine an acceptable definition.

When an obvious hint to meaning is offered, or when only a general sense of the meaning is required for the reader's aims, the reader should rely on context cues.

Context cues are extremely significant since their understanding and good application contribute to academic achievement.
