Answer:

Sentence b. On the court, the excited fans cheered the players is the one that contains a misplaced modifier.

Explanation:

A modifier is a word or phrase that gives further information about another word in the same sentence. The position of the modifier is very important, since this word or phrase will describe the noun next to it. In this case, the modifier is misplaced because it is modifying the excited fans -the noun next to the modifier on the court-, so the reader may misunderstand and think the fans were on the court, when the players were the ones actually on the court.

Therefore, the correct version of the sentence would be: The excited fans cheered the players on the court.

Which propaganda technique attempts to convince voters that the candidate is like them? Group of answer choices bandwagon endors

Serga [27]

Answer:

just plain folks

Explanation:

Propagandists use different techniques and ways to relay messages and influence/convince others.

just plain folks makes the voters think the candidate is just like them, that they share the same desires and concerns..

The plain folks technique is designed in such a way that ordinary voters would end up identifying with candidate that they share no similiarities with. For example, a candidate may come from very wealthy background, but to win voters on his side he presents himself as a humble person by doing those things that the plain folks do.
