Which sentence has a misplaced modifier?

English
2 answers:
wariber [46]3 years ago

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that has a misplaced modifier is the following one: In school, my mother encouraged me to join the band. That is, the correct option would be B.

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is separated from the word it modifies/describes. Consequently, sentences with misplaced modifiers sound awkward and even confusing.  In this case, the misplaced modifier makes it sound as if the speaker's mother was at school when giving him the piece of advice.

Answer: B. In school, my mother encouraged me to join the band.

The modifier in this case is misplaced as it makes it sound like the mother was at school when she gave the advice. Modifiers can be very important to the structure of a sentence as they can significantly change the meaning if misplaced.

All the other examples express the meaning of the sentence clearly.

Reading helps with thinking in a more logical or imaginative way (depending on what material you read).

Hope it helps.

Orwell says that the incident with the elephant
Stels [109]

Answer:

When Orwell relates his experience with the elephant in “Shooting an Elephant” it gives some insight into his own psyche as well as the structure of imperialism. In this moment, he criticizes imperialism, showing that the leaders are controlled by the masses just as much as, if not more so than, the other way around.

He describes himself as being despised by the Burmese people. He is a colonial policeman, and in this role, he is associated with imperial British rule, propped up by the threat of force. (Orwell himself served in the Indian imperial police for a time, so the narrator's voice is likely his own.) When the elephant tears through the bazaar, killing a coolie, the Burmese crowd demands that he shoot and kill it. He does not want to do this, because by the time he arrives on the scene, the elephant has calmed, and no longer poses a threat to anybody. Orwell reflects that, in order to appease the angry crowd, he has to fill the role that they expect of him, which is that of a hated "tyrant." This is the paradoxical nature of empire- he must compromise his morality, become what the Burmese people already think he is, or risk their laughter and scorn. For someone that has already determined that he hates British imperialism, the incident is profoundly unsettling, but in a "roundabout way enlightening." It underscores the duality of empire, a world in which a man like Orwell can, as he says in the account, hold remarkably contradictory feelings:

The incident illustrates that, whatever objections they may have to British rule, imperial officials have to be hated to be respected.
