Chinua Achebe was a Nigerian novelist. He had a title of chieftain of Igbo tribe and wrote novels about its customs. That was portrayed as sophisticated, passed down through generations.

Westerners may mistaken them as ‘primitive and savage’. But Achebe showed Igbo people's rich cultural background through his narrations. Igbo proverbs, ‘the art of conversation", were frequently quoted in his novels.

The non-violent nature of Igbo was demonstrated by events like the peaceful agreement with the Mbaino tribe during a murder in Igbo by a Mbaino man.

We saw three lion cubs using binoculars. correct the misplaced modifier. plzzzzzz helppppppp
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Using binoculars, we saw three lion cubs

Explanation:

A misplaced modifier occurs when a word or a phrase is incorrectly placed in a sentence that separates it from the word it modifies, making the sentence have a different meaning.

Therefore, correcting the misplaced modifier in the sentence "We saw three lion cubs using binoculars", we change it to "Using binoculars, we saw three lion cubs"

This is because, from the first sentence, it seems like the cubs were using binoculars, when in actual sense, it was the speaker that used binoculars to see the cubs.

Choose the verb that's spelled correctly in the preterit tense. bebimos bebemos bebi
ad-work [718]
I think this belongs more in World Languages section but I know Spanish so this should be a piece of cake. Now the preterit tense is<span> (</span>el pretérito) in Spanish-it is the past tense examples are: -ar -er and -ir always keep these in mind. The correct<span> preterite ending is depending on who the subject of the action is. </span>These are the options presented in your question: 

Bebimos= past tense  (we drank)  imos is the verb.
Bebemos= present tense (we drink) 
Bebi= past tense (I drank) i in bebi is the verb. 

Bebemos is the present tense so it can't be. Understand "el pretérito" now?
