Answer:
Your answer would be D.
Explanation:
The sentence that contains a dangling modifier is D. A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. In the sentence above, "preparing for the experiment" is a present participle expressing an action but does not name the doer of the action. In English sentences, the doer of the action must be the subject of the main sentence. However, the doer of the action is not "several slides" (the subject of the main clause). Slides do not have volition, so they can't prepare an experiment.
As the doer of the action is not clearly stated, the participle phrase is said to be dangling. Consequently, you should name the appropriate or logical doer of the action as the subject of the main clause. In this case, it could be an NP such as "the scientist" or you can turn the whole sentence into a when clause --> When the scientist was preparing the experiment, several slides...
The answer is either C or A
The answer is b because it gives both takes on the topic in hand.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. A declarative sentence:
- <u>I wake up early in the morning every day. </u>
It is just stating an idea or fact.
2. An imperative sentence.
- <u>Hand me the some bread.</u>
The sentence is making a request.
3. An interrogative sentence.
- <u>Can you leave me at the bus station, because I am late?</u>
This sentence is asking a question, thus it ends in a question mark. See that the verbs "can" and "am" are both in present tense, then they are consistent.
4. An exclamatory sentence.
- <u>Watch out for the car that stopped abruptly!</u>
You are conveying a strong feeling of urgency. The exclamatory sentences end with the exclamation mark: !
A further explanation:
Verb tense consistency refers to not changing the tense throughout a clause. Switching from one tense to another is a syntax error, that makes the clauses weird or even unintelligible.
