Answer:

Explanation:

A participial phrase is misplaced if it seems to modify a word other than the one the writer intended to modify. It is often added to a sentence as an afterthought. The idea was clear in the author's mind, but it didn't translate to the reader.

Misplaced: We got on the bus, soaked from the rain. (Was the bus soaked?)

Better: Soaked from the rain, we got on the bus.

I think then it would be “look out for the money that stole my wallet with the broken tail” because you are not being specially with what has a broken tail - the wallet or monkey? A better sentence would be “the monkey with the broken tail stole my wallet, look out!”

Which two sentences use formal language? Studies show that student participation in sports has decreased over the past five year
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The two sentences that use formal language are:

Studies show that student participation in sports has decreased over the past five years.

The best sites on the internet to use for research end in .Edu, .Gov, or .Org.

Explanation:

Informal language is used in general spoken situations and shows a preference for simpler, shorter words, as well as slang words. It conveys the message in a straightforward and personal manner. That is what we have in the sentences " It was an awesome concert, and everyone totally liked being there," "Scientists say they've proven the theory, but the evidence is pretty sketchy," and "Recycling is a great idea because it lets us reuse trash and stuff." <u>The highlighted words are avoided in formal situations.</u>

<u>Formal language, on the other hand, is mostly used in professional and academic situations as well as writing. It takes grammatical correction into consideration, tends to use longer, more complex words, and tends to be more impersonal. That is what we have in "Studies show that student participation in sports has decreased over the past five years" and "The best sites on the internet to use for research end in .Edu, .Gov, or .Org." These sentences do not use slang words and present information in a longer, more structured manner.</u>

Can prisoners be rehabilitated
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The short answer is yes.  The entire point/concept of imprisonment is to rehabilitate the prisoners so they will go back out in the world and be respectful citizens.  Criminal rehabilitation is the process of helping inmates grow stronger and change their behavior, allowing them to isolate themselves from the many factors that made them commit a crime in the first place.  This causes a majority of them to commit crimes so they can go back to prison where they know how to survive.  Studies and research has consistently shown that time spent in prison does not successfully rehabilitate most prisoners/inmates, and most of the criminals return to a life of  almost immediately.
