Rewrite the sentence by correcting the misplaced modifier, squinting modifier, or dangling modifier.

English
1 answer:

<em>We planned to take a trip to Asia in three years or less.</em>

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

  • A <u>misplaced modifier</u> is a word or phrase which is separated from the subject it modifies, thus making the sentence syntactically incorrect as well as illogical:<em> I found the </em><u><em>stained</em></u><em> man's hankerchief</em>.
  • A <u>squinting modifier</u> 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): <em>Combing your hair </em><u><em>softly</em></u><em> detangles it</em>.
  • A <u>dangling modifier</u> gives an information without clearly stating its subject in the sentence. It often consists of "<em>having</em> + past participle" or "<em>being</em> + past participle" constructions, like: <u><em>Being tired after the show</em></u><em>, going straight home was the best plan</em>.

What happened to Salva’s uncle? Infer: Why may this have happened?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Uncle was shot by the Nuer men. Salva is numb with shock but surprisingly his uncle's spirit is in him. The group treats Salva like a child, shares no food with him, and makes him feel unwanted.

The men are from the Nuer tribe. They may have singled Uncle out because he was the leader and had a gun. Their laughter was evil means that Salva can hear the danger in their voices and perhaps he has some

inkling of what they may do.

Explanation:

Hope this helps.

11 Complete the writing task.
RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

Fellow students as you all may know I attended a meeting tonight about the plans for the new cafeteria but we are still open to new suggestions. Here are some of our plans. We plan to add more healthy foods. Also to have more drink choices like juices and tea. Another thing we plan to add is newer tables that seat more students so we can all sit with our friends. Maybe even a hand washing station cause sometimes it can get very messy with some of the food served. We are considering putting in a salad bar also so you don't just have to have a bland salad anymore if you are wanting to eat healthy now you can make your own with what you really want on your salad. These are just a few of the ideas mentioned but I wanted to let you all know and get your thoughts on things. Let me know what was a good idea or bad or ways to improve. Also let me know what else could be added we are always open to new ideas. I will be sure to bring them up at the next meeting

- sincerly your student representative

Why does the author include the pictures in the “Construction” section of the “How to Manage Stormwater: Rain Barrels”?
Strike441 [17]

Anytime you include pictures, photos, and other illustrations in documents, it helps the writer show great amounts of complicated data in a way that is easy-to-understand. Using these images helps save space and the graphic elements work to visualize how complex information can be put to together in an appealing way.

In this booklet, written by the Environmental Services department of the City of Portland, there are a lot of illustrations designed to help observe the site, plan, and construct your rain barrel. The pictures in the "Construction" section specifically help you to know about:

  • the seven tools needed to build your own rain barrel
  • the five tools required to disconnect your downspout and connect it to your barrel
  • the six steps to constructing your rain barrel

The end result of these illustrations is that more citizens of Portland (and elsewhere) can properly plan for, and successfuly complete the project of making their own rain barrel. Ultimately, this will have a positive effect on the environment. Specifically, the more rain barrels are being used, sewer demand is reduced and the water quality of streams and groundwater will improve.
