A dangling modifier ca be a clause, phrase, or even a word that is not located near the noun that it is meant to modify. In other words, it is ,isplaced. As a result, the modifier dangles because it lacks a direct connection to what it is describing. Therefore, writers need to revise these modifiers in order to state clearly the message they want to convey without resulting in misleading message, ideas or meanings.

Answer:

The teeter-totter was shared by the boys.

Explanation:

Passive voice is when the object of the sentence becomes the subject of the sentence. The subject of the sentence then receives the action instead of doing it. Passive voice always includes a form of the verb 'to be' and a particle of the main verb. In the case of the last sentence, the teeter-totter is the object/subject. "Was" is the past tense form of the verb "to be." Shared is the past particle of the verb "share."

So basically, the breakdown is like this:

The teeter-totter + was + shared by + the boys.

object past tense past particle subject

of the verb of the verb

'to be' 'share'

All the other sentences are in active voice as the subject is doing the action. "Lilly took", "Little boy arrived", "The boy started playing" all have the subject in front of the verb.

Hope this helps. :)

Regan likens the transitioning process to a butterfly's metamorphosis. How else is Luna like a butterfly? Does this metaphor wor

Degger [83]

Luna shows herself as a butterfly because she needs to free herself from the "cocoons" that hold her. This metaphor extends throughout the book, as it takes her to muster up the courage to open these cocoons throughout the story.

<h3>What are the cocoons that hold Luna?</h3>

The family.
The society.
The insecurity.
The fear.
The lack of courage.

Luna is a transgender girl who is still finalizing her transition to the female gender. This transition is what allows her to be compared to a butterfly, through metaphors that show that in addition to transition, she must break her cocoons, that is, leave behind everything that prevents her from being free.

A. the time, place, and conditions in which a story occurs

Explanation:

The purpose of setting in literature is to act as an exposition.

When we read a scary story, and the character starts to describe the circumstances of his physical surroundings, he is describing his setting.

Example: It was <u>midnight</u> when I pulled into the driveway of my <u>house</u>. The <u>lamposts along my street</u> blinked eerily as I made my way to the front door. Something didn't feel right.

Choice B describes mood.

Choice C describes plot.
