I believe it implies that King Shield Sheafson, was a good king for the Spear Danes, both being fierce and heroic caused them to be victorious in battles. The opposing tribes viewed Sheafson as evil and a destroyer of their homes. Basically to the Danes, Sheafson is a vision of what is good, to other tribes he is a vision of what is evil.

W14. Identify the error that needs to be corrected Options: adverbs vs. adjectives, misplaced modifier, incorrect verb tense, su
AysviL [449]

Answer:

1. Sunny yet dusty, the traveler finally arrived at her destination. -- misplaced modifier

2. The raccoon could not decides whether to cross the highway that night. -- subject-verb disagreement

3 The policemen hauled the escaped prisoner off to jail and fingerprint him before putting him in a cell. -- incorrect verb tense

4. The electric eel emitted his electric charge and they dived to the ocean's depths. -- pronoun antecedent disagreement

Explanation:

1. "Sunny yet dusty" is a misplaced modifier. Modifiers usually stand close to the noun they refer to. In this case, it would not make sense for the word "sunny" to refer to "traveler" in this context. That means this modifier refers to "destination", but is too far away from it in the structure.

2. "The raccoon decides" would be alright, but we have "could not" right after the subject. In this case, "decides" should not be conjugated. The right form would be "The raccoon could not decide."

3. The whole sentence talks about actions that took place in the past. However, the verb "fingerprint" is not conjugated in its past form, which makes it inconsistent with the rest of the sentence.

4. The electric eel is an animal. The best pronoun to use to refer to an eel would be "it". Let's suppose this is a fable or some other type of story that refers to animals as "he" or "she". That would make "his" acceptable, but we would still have a problem with the "they" afterwards. Who are they? The sentence only mentions the eel.
