Hello, there! Can you please attach the article? Because the answer of this question depends on it. Thank you!
It would look like Modern would be the participle.
Because Modern modifies what the Essay is, Essay is the word modified.
I'm pretty sure this is right, since no other word in the sentence seems to modify anything.
Statement , your just stating something.
The correct answer is identifying your audience.
The first thing you need to think about when starting your writing is your audience - the people you are writing for and want to read your work. Based on your audience, you will know whether you need to be more or less formal, you will decide on your language and choice of words, your tone, topic, etc.
