To understand how to figure misplaced / dangling modifiers, we must first understand the message that the sentence is trying to convey to us. So let us take a look at the answer choices:
A. The veterinarian, found in the woods with a broken leg, offered to help the dog.
Was the veterinarian found in the woods with a broken leg? And if so, by whom? And if they had a broken leg, why are they concerned with helping the dog, who seems to be fine?
I do not think that answer A is the right choice, so let's move on.
B. Found in the woods, the veterinarian offered to help the dog with a broken leg.
Aha, at least now the dog has something that requires the help of the veterinarian. But why is the veterinarian being found in the woods? Is he some sort of hermit?
Probably not. Moving on!
C. Found in the woods with a broken leg, the veterinarian offered to help the dog.
Now, we are completely stumped as to what was found in the woods with a broken leg. Because it's unclear, we can dismiss it as an option choice.
D. The veterinarian offered to help the dog found in the woods with a broken leg.
NOW we're onto something! The dog was found in the woods with a broken leg, and the veterinarian offered to help. From the looks of things, this makes the most sense, and therefore, option D is the correct answer.
Hope that helped! =)
His owners have fed and clothed him in exchange for his liberty.
The answer is: to suggest the hopelessness of Zeitoun’s situation.
In the excerpt from "Zeitoun," the author Dave Eggers makes reference to Zeitoun's feeling of devastation as the sees New Orleans underwater after hurricane Katrina. For instance, the narrator describes how the whole city is submerged and that nothing other than water can be seen around Zeitoun's tent. The protagonist also looks for people, animals or machines moving, but he sees nothing until the helicopter flies around.
Right choice: (D).
Robinson is the hero and the storyteller of the novel. He is individualistic, independent, and bold. He persistently rebates words of wisdom and admonitions of his folks and others, and strongly tries to progress in his very own life by sailing through the ocean. He is now and again excessively aggressive and can't stay content with an agreeable life (regardless of whether in England or Brazil). Caught on his island, he figures out how to endure in solitude and furthermore winds up turning into an ardent Christian, atoning for his past sins and picking up a freshly discovered trust in God and his perfect arrangement of fortune. Robinson's extraordinary independence is on occasion brave, and differs a lot from the English and Spanish masters. He involves himself in the tasks carried out by his crew.
These attributes help us conclude that Crusoe, unlike any other master, works together with those around him, and focuses on self-reliance.
