A dangling modifier is a type of a modifier which is placed incorrectly or the noun it is supposed to modify isn't clearly stated in the sentence.
Having this in mind, the sentence which contains a dangling modifier is <span>A. Playing with the children, it was obvious they had a good time.
It should be rewritten somehow to say: It was obvious they had a good time playing with the children. </span>
Answer:
The two statements which describe the main themes of the story are:
A. The freedom to express oneself is valued by many, but some people discourage it and fear its consequences.
D. Creativity and creation can bring great joy.
Explanation:
"Daughter of Invention" is a short story by J.ulia Alvarez. The narrator is a girl who has been chosen to give a speech in front of her teachers and classmates. The creation of the speech brings her great joy. She fills inspired, energized by the words she has chosen and the message she is going to convey. She speaks of independence, of students surpassing their masters.
Her father, upon reading the speech, has an extreme reaction. He tears it to pieces and tells her she is being insubordinate. The narrator's father has lived through a dictatorship. He knows very well the consequences of speaking one's mind - he has lost loved ones because of that. Thus, he discourages freedom of speech, afraid of the consequences it may bring.
Note: I had to type J.ulia with a period because otherwise Brainly won't let me post this answer. For some reason, certain words are interpreted as curse words or as links.
Answer:
The highwayman's anger was caused by the discovery of the death of Bess, the girl he loved.
Explanation:
The poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes tells the story of an unnamed highwayman falling in love with the daughter of an innkeeper. But the betrayal of Tim, the ostler, led Bess, the girl to sacrifice her life to save the highwayman from getting killed by the authorities.
The lines <em>"back he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky"</em> shows his anger at discovering that Bess had been killed while trying to save him. This was her way of making sure that he did not get captured and then tortured by the authorities, thereby showing her love for him. Thus, <u>the anger in him was a result of knowing Bess, his lover, had died at the hands of the authorities who were waiting for him.</u>
