The correct answer is : While looking for a campsite,a tornado touched down near the park.

By definition, a dangling modifier comprises a phrase or clause whose relationship or link with the word or words that modify is well and clearly established.Typically, the dangling modifier appears at the beginning of the sentence.

In this example, the dangling modifier appears at the beginning of the sentence and it fails logical reference. That is to say, it is not logical to think that the tornado was looking for a campsite. In this case, there is no reference of who did the activity of looking for a campsite.In other words, there are no specific word that this clause modifies.

3. In what different ways does the text

Maksim231197 [3]

The full question is: In what different ways does the text distinguish prometheus's character from that of the other gods on mount olympus

Answer and Explanation:

The text to which the question refers is "Prometheus the friend of man."

In the text Prometheus is presented very differently from the other gods of Olympus. That's because he preferred to spend his time on earth working to make human life easier, unlike the Olympian gods, who preferred to do nothing, rest and receive offerings. Furthermore, the text shows that Prometheus wanted human beings to be independent and able to act without the help of the Olympian gods, who believed that human beings should be submissive and servants.
