Answer:
1. The Dangling Modifiers
Dangling modifiers modify a sentence but they do so without giving information as to who the subject of the action in the sentence. For example, <em>After doing her homework, Hillary went to watch TV</em>. Hillary is the subject here but the <em>After</em> does not show that.
The sentences with dangling modifiers therefore are;
A) After reading the pharmaceutical research, the report remained confusing.
D) Being the coordinator for the working mothers' co-op, Keisha's schedule is very busy.
E) When speaking clearly and slowly, the mike on the sound system works better.
2. Independent Clauses.
These are clauses that can be sentence on their own with no need for any additions.
The Independent Clauses are;
A) Jamal resigned.
B) The system was updated last week
3. Dependent Clauses
These cannot be a sentence on their own and require additions to be complete.
The dependent clauses are;
A) Because he was job hunting.
C) If Jimmy concludes today.
4. Parallel Structures
This is a sentence structure that aims to show that the clauses connected have the same importance. Coordinating conjunctions are used to connect the clauses such as or, and, for, etcetera.
The Parallel Structured sentences are;
A) As we prepared our presentation for the KLM proposal, Jim revised the PowerPoint, Linda double checked the numbers, and I created a handout.
C) Below the lobby, on the first floor, and off to the left, you will find a check-in desk.
E) As receptionist, his duties include answering the phone, forwarding calls, and taking messages.
