Answer: B. After leaving the sickness, / the old Empires of Europe

Explanation:

The Old Empires of Europe being the British, the French, the Spanish, The Portuguese, The Dutch, and The Germans amongst others, got to the level they were at by conquering new lands from North America to Australia. Indeed at it's height, the British Empire controlled 24% of Earth as we know it now.

Joseph Bruchac (the Poet), in the poem, likens these Empires to being sick. To having become inherently unhealthy because all they thought about was conquest essentially drawing a comparison between conquest and sickness to say that conquering others can make one sick and unhealthy just as it did these Old Empires of Europe.

Which of the following sentences is written correctly?
chubhunter [2.5K]

B. Eager to eat, Caleb immediately joined the buffet line.

The other ones don't make sense because the order that the words are put confuses who is doing the action.

For example in the sentence:

Caleb was ready for the party wearing a suit and tie.

The way this sentence was written makes it seem like the party was wearing a suit and tie even though it was Caleb.

This is how it should have been:

Caleb, wearing a suit and tie, was ready for the party

Another example:

Having fun, the dance floor was already full of people.

Who/what was having fun? The dance floor or the people? In this sentence it seems like the dance floor is having fun.

This is how it should have been:

The dace floor was already full of people having fun.

Last example:

He rode in a car that was decorated with his friends

So his car was decorated with little models of his friends. I'm sure he didn't mean this so...

With his friends, he rode in a decorated car.

Hope this made sense and helped you understand!
