1. <em>(After several minutes,) </em><em>I finally located my car keys.  </em>The phrase in parenthesis is a <u>"prepositional phrase" (option A)</u>. This prepositional phrase is formed by the preposition "after" plus the adjective "several" and the noun "minutes".

2.<em> Mikayla's homeroom teacher, </em><em>(Mr. Jones.) </em><em>is proud of her</em>. The phrase in parenthesis is an <u>"appositive" (option C)</u>. The appositive "Mr. Jones" provides additional information about the noun "teacher".

3. <em>Henry's desire </em><em>(to win)</em><em> is obvious</em>. The phrase in parenthesis is an <u>"infinitive" (option B)</u>. The infinitive phrase in this case is used as an adjective which modifies the word "desire".

4. <em>(Talking)</em><em> is not allowed in class.</em> The phrase in parenthesis is a <u>"gerund" (option B)</u>. A gerund phrase includes a word ending in "ing" and functions as a noun.

5. <em>Josie's project was a failure,</em> <em>having not prepared properly.</em>  This sentence contains a <u>"dangling modifier" (option B)</u>. A dangling modifier is a a type of misplaced modifier, but it does not have anything to modify in the sentence; that's why the sentence should be restated so as to include the word/s that the modifier intends to describe.

20PTS ENGLISH QUESTION!! : Think about Kolbenschlag's essay, "Cinderalla, the Legend." What is Kolbenschlag's thesis? Write a se
Shkiper50 [21]
Well, firstly, I need to see the essay but in my opinion from what you are saying I think that the title is something to do with the story. So, "Cinderella, the Legend" so, it might be a Legend. It doesn't say The Great Cinderella or something which means the author has a normal feeling about it and doesn't think it's good neithier bad so, the author has a neutral feeling about Cinderella. I hope this helps! ^^

Which is a line of dialogue?
Alex
Your first option, "I have taken all the stress I can stand.", is a line of dialogue.

Dialogue is speaking/talking. The second and last options cannot be examples of dialogue because they are not being spoken (you can tell by the lack of quotation marks).The third option is also incorrect because it is what is written, as it says "the study reported" (the study does not speak). Therefore, the first option is correct.
