Answer:

<h2>Sentence-level Writing</h2>

a. Dangling Modifier:

 

1.

Dangling Modifier:  When beginning the meeting

Best Revision:  2. When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off

2.

Dangling Modifier :  taking the train into Boston

Best Revision: Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.

b. Identifying the dependent clauses:

1. Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours

3. When he opened the e-mail message

c. Identifying the independent clauses:

2. Meanwhile, the executive assistant printed the agenda.

d. Identifying the sentence with the correct parallel structure:

1. The systems analyst found that we needed to upgrade our equipment, revise our backup process, and implement better security measures.

e. Best option to complete the sentence:

If you _________, you will do well in this corporation.

1. write well, speak well, and use good interpersonal skills

Explanation:

a. A phrase or clause that is not directly related to the word or words it modifies is called a dangling modifier.  Usually, the word a dangling modifier modifies may be absent from the sentence.  An example is "when beginning the meeting."  The word it modifies may be "we" as in "When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off."

b. A clause which cannot make a complete sense or sentence is called a dependent clause.  It requires another clause to make a complete sense.  The clause that makes a complete a complete sentence and can stand alone without another clause is an independent clause.

c. A sentence that has grammatical structure which is balanced is said to have parallelism.  This can also be called parallel structure or construction.  This means that the items listed follow similar pattern that rhyme with one another.  Let us revise the sentence with the wrong parallel structure in this case so as to make it become a parallelism:  "The systems analyst found that we needed upgraded equipment, revised backup processes, and better implemented security measures."  By this revision, the wrong parallel sentence now has a well-structured parallelism.

taurus [48]

Answer:

Final value= $242,726.24

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The U.S. stock market has returned an average of about 9% per year since 1900.

This return works out to a real return (i.e., adjusted for inflation) of approximately 6% per year.

If you invest $100,000 and you earn 6% a year on it for 30 years.

We know inflation is 3% (average), so our real interest rate is approximately 3%.

We need the final value formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 100000*(1.03)^30= $242,726.24
