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

English

<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>.

Which sentence uses all its nominative case pronouns correctly?
Olenka [21]

The answer is the first option: We live on the same street.


The nominative case takes subject pronouns only, since the pronouns are the subjects of the sentences. They are: I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they.

Options b, c and d have object pronouns - them, me and him - acting as subject pronouns and, consequently, as subjects to the verbs, making the sentences grammatically wrong.

after reynaldo leaves polonius's room, ophelia enters distraught. she tells her father that hamlet had appeared before her in a
Vladimir79 [104]

Polonius thinks that Hamlet is mad because Ophelia is ignoring him and Hamlet is madly in love with her.

The above scene is taken from Hamlet Act 2 written by William Shakespeare. This scene starts with Reynaldo, a spy sent by Polonius, who travels to France to keep a watch on Laertes. As soon as Ophelia walks in, she informs Polonius that Hamlet stormed into her room, holding her wrists, and stared crazily into her eyes. She continues by saying that she has severed all ties with Hamlet. Polonius decides to meet with the king to devise a method to eavesdrop on Hamlet speaking to Ophelia since he is convinced that Hamlet is madly in love with her and that Ophelia's rejection is what put him in this situation. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two of Hamlet's classmates from high school, have been invited by Gertrude to investigate the origin of his insanity. Hamlet avoids their queries because he is wary of them.

Here madness has two meanings, that is one immediately thinks of a lunatic in an asylum who is unable to understand reality when it is used frequently in phrases to suggest unreasonable insanity.
