Allusion is a reference, within a literary work, regarding a film, a piece of art, a historical even, or mythology. An allusion as a kind of shorthand, drawing on the outside work to provide greater context or meaning to the situation  being written about.

One can use allusion to achieve a well-rounded feel to their essay. You can reference to a multitude of other works to give your essay a more complex meaning. Making connotations to other things such as art of mythology can strengthen the point you are trying to get across. Also, using allusion may also provoke your reader to do research on a reference you are making, thus giving your essay more depth.

We saw three lion cubs using binoculars. correct the misplaced modifier. plzzzzzz helppppppp
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Using binoculars, we saw three lion cubs

Explanation:

A misplaced modifier occurs when a word or a phrase is incorrectly placed in a sentence that separates it from the word it modifies, making the sentence have a different meaning.

Therefore, correcting the misplaced modifier in the sentence "We saw three lion cubs using binoculars", we change it to "Using binoculars, we saw three lion cubs"

This is because, from the first sentence, it seems like the cubs were using binoculars, when in actual sense, it was the speaker that used binoculars to see the cubs.
