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.

Drag each tile to the correct box.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

  1. Time the presentation
  2. Outline the presentation
  3. Create the slideshow
  4. Practice your speech
  5. Practice delivering the presentation
  6. Get feedback from peers

Explanation:

The first thing we need to know is: <em>How long is my presentation going to last?</em> Secondly we need to do a rough draft or outline of our presentation --perhaps in a white sheet of paper--; then, we should create the slideshow and include everything we did in our previous step; later, we should practice our speech: <em>What are we going to say? </em>next, when everything mentioned above has been succesfully accomplished, we can now practice delivering the presentation as if we were already in the real scene. Finally, you can obtain feedback from your peers and decide if you need to adjust or correct something in order to deliver a great presentation.
