We planned to take a trip to Asia in three years or less.

The modifier "in three years or less" was misplaced.

A misplaced modifier is a word or phrase which is separated from the subject it modifies, thus making the sentence syntactically incorrect as well as illogical: I found the stained man's hankerchief.

A squinting modifier creates ambiguity in a sentence through its placement, by making it unclear which part it modifies (the one that comes before it or the one that comes after it): Combing your hair softly detangles it.

A dangling modifier gives an information without clearly stating its subject in the sentence. It often consists of "having + past participle" or "being + past participle" constructions, like: Being tired after the show, going straight home was the best plan.

Marta always bought designer sunglasses, but she was

Travka [436]

Answer:

A. The connotation of the word careless suggests that Marta doesn't pay attention to her things.

Explanation:

Careless, as used in the passage, shows that she was not being careful with her glasses thus she ended up breaking them. Since the passage said that she usually broke them within a week, we can infer she isn't careful with any pair of her designer glasses she has bought. Therefore, it cannot be B because she does NOT really care about her things, and C is off-topic because it never says that she prefers designer sunglasses, only that that is what she always bought.

Read Isaiah 53:4, 5, 7, 8, 10. Select the best description. Speaks of Jesus being accused of wrong, but He refused to defend Him

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Speaks of Jesus being accused of wrong, but He refused to defend Himself. He remained quiet.

Explanation:

The Book of Isaiah is the 23rd book in the Old Testament of the Christians' holy book "The Holy Bible". This particular book contains a lot of descriptions as well as predictions for the future of the world. Not only that, it also includes the coming of the Messiah and the saving of the whole world through the suffering of the Son of God.

Isaiah 53 verse 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 says -

4 Surely he took up our pain

and bore our suffering,

yet we considered him punished by God,

stricken by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,

he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on him,

and by his wounds we are healed.

7 "He was oppressed and afflicted,

yet he did not open his mouth;

he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,

and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,

so he did not open his mouth."

8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.

Yet who of his generation protested?

For he was cut off from the land of the living;

for the transgression of my people he was punished.

10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,

and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,

he will see his offspring and prolong his days,

and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.

These lines predicts the suffering of Christ at the hands of those who are against him. Like a sheep, he remained silent, suffering whatever was inflicted upon him for the sake of the salvation of the whole world. These lines talks of how Jesus will be wrongly accused but will not defend himself. Instead, he will rather remain quiet and silently endure the torture that was put on him.
