Answer:

Your answer would be D.

Explanation:

The sentence that contains a dangling modifier is D. A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. In the sentence above, "preparing for the experiment" is a present participle expressing an action but does not name the doer of the action. In English sentences, the doer of the action must be the subject of the main sentence. However, the doer of the action is not "several slides" (the subject of the main clause). Slides do not have volition, so they can't prepare an experiment.

As the doer of the action is not clearly stated, the participle phrase is said to be dangling. Consequently, you should name the appropriate or logical doer of the action as the subject of the main clause. In this case, it could be an NP such as "the scientist" or you can turn the whole sentence into a when clause --> When the scientist was preparing the experiment, several slides...

Yes, I once had a bad dream where I was trapped in an underground cave. At first I did not know where I was. It was very dark and small, and I could hear water dripping. I was very scared, and immediately started trying to look for a way out. I could not find any sources of light, so I started pressing up against the walls, hoping that there would be a hole somewhere. I remember feeling as if the cave was getting smaller and smaller, until it was so cramped that I could not move. Instead of panicking further, I lay still, and slowly the cave started expanding again, until I could see a pinprick of light above me. I pushed and pushed until I could claw my way out of the top, but as I reached it, the whole thing collapsed under me and I felt the sensation of falling. I woke up with a fright.

That was 801 characters. I hope it helps!

introduction to Your school has been performing poorly in public examination for past three years.Write a letter to your princip
musickatia [10]
I will assume you are a student, or possibly a parent. Regardless, it is exciting to hear that you are invested in the school and seeking to make positive change.
I will give general advice and then add some specific suggestions for a student vs. a parent.
First, I would use a word doc (or equivalent) to compose a letter that is formal - Dear Principal ___ - including a date and the clear name and address of the school.
Next, describe who you are and your connection to the school. This is helpful context, and (likely) establishes you as an important “stakeholder.”
Then, describe your specific experiences, or observations within the school, which have probably led you to conclude that there are problems in need of improvements.
*This is very important* Before you describe possible changes, share in detail what you’ve been through or seen; this will add weight and credibility to your letter.
Then, offer to meet with the Principal “to discuss the concerns you raise and possible solutions for improvement” - this allows for you to learn (a) what the Principal already knows, (b) what steps they may be taking already, and (c) gives them space to add input and shows your willingness to listen, rather than demand.
Lastly, you can say “to help with the process, I’ve thought up several possible solutions for improvement, and I would appreciate your feedback.”
By framing your solutions as example options for consideration, you invite yourself to be at the center of a process for change, rather than delivering an ultimatum that will lead immediately to conflict. Have a good day
