Dangling gerund: By studying so hard, we missed the six o'clock news.

A gerund is a verb ending in -ing that is used as a noun. Studying is the object of the preposition by. Only nouns or pronouns can be used as objects of the preposition. The problem in the original sentence is that the subject, the news, is not what was studying. Whoever was studying is missing - this creates the dangling part of the dangling gerund. In the corrected sentence, we is the subject of both the main verb, missed, and the gerund, studying.

How does the author use the language and dialogue in Chunk 1 to reveal how men see the relative advantages of men and women? Use
erastova [34]

Hello. You did not say what text this question refers to, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

In order for the author to be able to use the dialogue and language of a text to show how men see the relative advantages of men and women, it is necessary that the author uses a diction and creates speech for the characters that show the differences between the genres both biologically and socially. These differences can even be portrayed in a stereotypical way if the author wishes to show the wrong thinking of these men, or their inability to make social assessments based on facts.

Answer:

Ralph has changed his perspective from being on the island, at first his position as a leader was merely a game to him. However, Ralph realizes the seriousness in the situation. Ralph is a representation of civilization and from the beginning of the novel has always been a natural leader. At this point of the novel he is almost helpless, his comrades, Piggy and Simon, were gone and he struggles to stay alive as long as possible. Ralph did begin as a good leader because he assigned roles and formed a type of mock-government in hopes of remaining civil.

hope this helps :) I haven't read the book since freshman year! Took a little research.
