Answer:

The connection between the ideas in these sentences is one of contrast.

Explanation:

The idea expressed in the first sentence is connected to the idea in the second sentence by "however". "However" expresses contrast. Its purpose is to introduce an idea that goes against or contradicts another idea expressed earlier. In this case, the first idea is that Gutenberg invented the printing press. The second idea contradicts it by stating that there were earlier versions of the press in China, before Gutenberg. That is why "however" is used.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

A sentence with a misplaced adjective phrase is - The computer in the car's trunk needs repair.

Explanation:

Misplaced adjectives or modifiers are the words or phrases that are placed incorrectly. Because of such misplaced modifiers, the sentence sounds quite incorrect, and can also cause a confusion.

The sentence, ‘The computer in the car's trunk needs repair’ is a misplaced adjective. Here the writer should have made use of prepositional clause and the sentence should have been, ‘ The computer needs repair which is in the trunk of the car.’ It could also be, ‘The computer in the trunk of the car needs repair.’
