Answer:

A. When Amaury slipped on the wet sidewalk, the keys fell from his pocket.

Explanation:

The original sentence contains a misplaced modifier, which makes the sentence confusing or ambiguous. In that respect, in it unclear whether the phrase <em>slipping on the wet sidewalk</em> refers to the keys or to Amaury. As a consequence, the sentence should be corrected by locating the modifier closer to the noun it intends to modify.

Read William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18. Note that it is divided into three quatrains followed by a concluding couplet. Which two s
MAXImum [283]

The ninth line of the sonnet brings in a major change of tone. Shakespeare jumps on elaborating the immortality of his lover rather than continuing the criticism of the sun.  Moreover, the limitations of nature are replaced by his lover’s thoughts and he claims that his darling is not bounded by the rules that are being displayed.

In line-4, the summer is stated as ”eternal summer”, since it keeps returning every year. And noticing from the previous personifications employed in the sonnet, we can easily recognize the similarity between “summer’s day” and “thee”. Both can be eternal or can fade with time. This is the major reason why the author takes a turn on line-9, as both of them have only one threat-time; and the third force that can eternalize them both is the poetry that the author has created.

To conclude, we can easily notice the turn in topic and breaking of the stanza.

Llana [10]

The first use of the phrase is matter-of-fact. In the second stanza, the statement is followed by a period, which shows resignation. However, at the end of the poem, Dunbar almost shouts the phrase defiantly. The mask seems to become something he wears proudly. Through this gradual emphasis on the phrase, Dunbar could be implying that African Americans used the "mask" to hide their suffering and gain a kind of victory against society.

Which universal theme in the story do these lines from the passage suggest?
Elan Coil [88]
Perhaps the answer is "heroism". This man doesn't feel fear, he has to do what must be done. He wants to have his freedom more than anything else, and if somebody wants to stop him, he can only try, he is so brave and heroic that he will fight him for the thing he deserves.
