I WILL GIVE GRAMMARLY Read this sentence.

English
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago

Answer:

Let's discuss the meaning of these modifiers first.

A misplaced modifier, as the name suggests, is a word that modifies the wrong word, thus changing the meaning of the sentence (An old child's shirt was used to stop the bleeding - this would suggest that a shirt belonged to an old child, which is highly unlikely. Correct way to say this is A child's old shirt was used...)

A dangling modifier is a modifier that can not be logically connected to the word it modifies, most often because the word it modifies is left out of the sentence (When five years old, my mom remarried - it would be absurd if someone married, let alone remarried at the age of five. This modifier lacks the word it modifies: when I was five years old, my mom remarried).

We can conclude that the correct way to revise these sentences is to change a modifier's place (if misplaced) or add its modifying word (if dangling).

In our example, we see that the map was useless because someone (possibly the reader) was confused by its symbols. However, the confused reader is left out of this sentence, so it might seem as if the map was confused, which is highly illogical.

So, this is an example of a <em>dangling modifier</em> and the best way to revise this sentence is to add a missing modifying word.

"Since Jack was confused by the symbols, the map was useless" could be one of the correct revisions.

Analyze Reread lines 97–103 bf "The Wanderer." How does the use of personification help develop the tone in this part of the poe
weeeeeb [17]

In lines 97–103 of "The Wanderer," the poet applied personification in describing the elements. The tone that this section of the poem impacted on it is that of;

  • Gloom

A gloomy and foreboding tone was added to the poem, "The Wanderer" when the poet used tumultuous words to describe the elements. An excerpt to illustrate this is;

<em />

<em>The tumbling snows stumble up the earth, </em>

<em>the clash of winter, when darkness descends.</em>

Personification is the act of ascribing human attributes to inanimate things.

The exile in describing the current realities described the winter as clashing, and the snows, tumbling. A picture of darkness was painted. All of these impact a gloomy tone to the poem.

Conclusively, the tone that was added to the poem is that of gloom.
