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.

Why is the B-52 bomber a classic still to this day?

Naddik [55]

Over its sixty-year lifetime, the B-52’s avionics, flight hardware, and weapons systems have been upgraded. In 2006, the fleet received a “mid-life” upgrade to its avionics, adding modern processors and navigation systems. In 2014, the Air Force gave the BUFFS their first new communications system since the 1960s, including full-color LCDs to replace the old cathode ray tube screens. On the weapons front, the airplanes are due to receive weapons-bay upgrades, enabling them to hold more smart bombs, and radar enhancements, potentially including the Active Electronically Scanned Array Systems technology. Used by fighter jets like the F-22 Raptor, the digital radar system is vastly more precise and offers higher resolution than conventional radar dishes.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Carskadon meant that teenagers use many things that affect sleep, creating a perfect environment for a sleep-deficient body.

Explanation:

The sleep defict is the term used to describe the "debt" of sleep that some people develop when they sleep little and do not provide the body with the rest it needs and that only well-slept nights can provide. This is very dangerous, as it promotes malfunction of the body in the long run.

There are several factors that can lead to a lack of sleep, such as constant use of computers and cell phones, sugary drinks, use of the bed to do activities other than sleeping and resting, processed foods, among others. Coincidentally, teenagers have all these factors making their lives a perfect storm of sleep deficit.
