The correct answer is After I took a nice hot shower, my cat lapped up the water on the floor.

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is a term used for an ambiguous grammatical construction in which one word might be incorrectly linked to a modifier (a word that modify a noun). In the example given, in the case given the relationship between nouns and verbs is not clear as it is not clear whether it was the cat who took a hot shower and then lapped up the water or there is another subject involved. However, in the sentence "After I took a nice hot shower, my cat lapped up the water on the floor" each of the actions in the sentence (took a shower and  lapped up) are linked to a subject in a clear way so there is no ambiguity in which subject carried out each action and thus the dangling modifier disappears.

Colin is comparing a pair of sonnets for a paper he’s writing. He is looking at the following sections: …Never did sun more beau
dlinn [17]

Answer:

B. The two sections have different rhyme schemes and the same meter.

Explanation:

When you arrange properly the poems that Colin is comparing, you can see that the rhyme scheme in the first one is ABAB and in the second one it is ABBA, so they have different rhyme schemes, but as they both are sonnets they have to have the same meter, so they share the same iambic pentameter that has 10 syllables per verse.

Here the arranged poems with their rhyme scheme:

Never did sun more beautifully steep  A

In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; B

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! A

The river glideth at his own sweet will… B

Much have I traveled in the realms of gold,A

And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;B

Round many western islands have I been B

Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold… A
