Answer: The right answer is the B) Having read your letter, my German shepherd will stay inside after dark.

Explanation: Just to elaborate further on the answer, it can also be added that modifiers aim at clarifying or giving more detail about an idea. "Having read your letter" indicates an action, but there is no reference to the person who did it, or to the doer. That doer should have been the subject of the main clause that follows, but that has not been the case. Instead, it seems that the German shepherd, which is the subject of the main clause, was the one that read the letter. By neglecting to add the pronoun I in the main clause, the participial phrase "having read your letter" has turned into a dangling modifier.

Description on Starr carter the hate you give

oksian1 [2.3K]

Starr Carter is the sixteen-year-old protagonist of The Hate U Give. The novel is presented in the first person from her point-of-view. Starr lives in the urban neighborhood of Garden Heights, but attends private school in a nearby affluent neighborhood called Riverton Hills. This results in a split identity for Starr. She monitors her speech and behavior among her white peers, because she is one of the only African American students at the school, and she feels like she must represent her entire race. In other ways, Starr is a typical teenager; she loves basketball and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, she is fashion conscious, and she has a Tumblr blog. She thinks her parents are corny, but secretly admires them.

I am not induced by motives of pride, party, or resentment to espouse the doctrine of separation and independence; I am clearly,

nalin [4]

As for me, the most related sentence to ethos is ''I am clearly, positively, andconscientiously persuaded that it is the true interest of this continent to be so.'' Because it shows exactly how the speaker convinces auditory in his credibility, and according to sentence I have chosen we can extract the words and check with options you shared above. Even though it can seem controversial, it must be A. conscientiously, true interest of this continent , because it is claims to be interested in common good.
