2.01 quiz: misplaced and dangling modifiers

English
2 answers:
alexdok [17]2 years ago

A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that is not clearly and logically related to the word or words it modifies (i.e. is placed next to). Two notes about dangling modifiers: Unlike a misplaced modifier, a dangling modifier cannot be corrected by simply moving it to a different place in a sentence.

The complete question should be the following: Which sentence contains a misplaced or dangling modifier?

The correct answer is A) They heard there was a car crash on the evening news.

The other options of the question were B) On the way to the beach, we passed a thousand palm trees. C) Sally desperately wanted Susan to go with her on the ski trip. D) Colleges are looking for applicants with the community service experience.

The phrase that was incorrectly moved it modifies was "evening news." When this happens, the phrase or words do not fit correctly in the sentence. The sentence sounds strange and can cause confusion in the reader. "They heard on the evening news..." is the best way to write the sentence.

What limitations can a setting impose on the characters in the story and the writer?
Bond [772]
- the author is limited to what he or she can make the characters do, in a way this affects the characters as well
- in different settings the characters may live different lives due to the environment they live in
- If it is a made up location then the author can do whatever he or she pleases, but if it is a real life location then they have to base the surroundings off of that area

Here are some I could think of hope this helps:)
