Answer:

Yes i find this statement made by Groucho Marx funny on its own. The writer created humor with the second sentence by making use of Dangling Modifier.

Explanation:

A modifier can be said to be dangling when the sentence is not clear about what actually is being modified. This line is attributed to Grouch Marx in the movie Animal Crackers where he played Captain Spaulding.

Dangling modifiers can be avoided in sentences when a writer breaks long sentences into many shorter sentences. This will make the meaning of the sentence clear. The image of an elephant in a pajamas is definitely a funny picture. hence the above statement is a good example of a dangling modifier.

Which of the following research questions is too broad?
monitta

Answer:

The broad topic would be Communication Through the Ages.  Early Kingdoms narrows it down to West Africa.  A short research project could give you the info you need on USGrant.  The Mid Atlantic States are such a small portion that when you study colonization, it can be narrowed down to each colony.  Communiciation Through the Ages - is just that - a long time and a very broad subject.  From when to when?  

Explanation:

It would take a while to research all the different types of communication - and is it narrowed down to technology or can it go back even to the stone age and how people drew pictures to communicate???

Which sentence best states how the character of Hayashi develops over the course of the text?
Scrat [10]

We can actually infer here that the sentence that best states how the character of Hayashi develops over the course of the text is: D. Hayashi struggles with his feelings for Tama, but he realizes that she is worth fighting for.

<h3>What is character?</h3>

Character actually refers to the personality of someone. In literature, characters are known to be individuals who are seen in a story or drama and who make up the plot of the story.

In The Reincarnation of Tama by Yei Theodora Ozaki, we see that Tama was known to be a beautiful girl. She was also seen as a gifted child. People compared Tama to a morning-glory.

This is one of the reasons why Hayashi realized that Tama was worth fighting for.

Answer:

The Tell Tale Heart

By: Edgar Allen Poe

Claim: The storyteller believes that he is not crazy although he is.

From the beginning the narrator was attempting to convince the reader that he was not crazy although he was bothered over his neighbors eye. The pace of the story-line began from the narrator admitting how he had a bad feeling whenever the old man's vulture eye looked at the narrator but didn't think that the narrator was crazy over it. Soon enough throughout the story the narrator was driven crazy over the vulture looking eye from the old man and decided to kill the old man. Although from the readers perspective it seems too look like the narrator was crazy, the narrator did not think so. The narrator had planned very meticulously over the thought of killing to old man and acted out on it. Once the deed was done, the police came by to check because a neighbor reported suspicious activity by the old man's home. The narrator let the police in the house to search it and the narrator had explained how the old man was gone to visit a friend out in the country and the police believed him. But the narrator's guilt got to him and put him on edge. He behaved more and more suspicious and finally let a cry out of admitting to killing the man because the narrator thought the policemen were on to him. The way that the mood affected me was that the narrator had begun to admit that he was a normal person, perfectly fine. But once the narrator put out the exposition it started to give out the expression that he was crazy and him denying that he wasn't crazy made the narrator even more suspicious. To conclude my claim, I see that narrator is genuinely crazy and that even though he convinced his own self and attempted to prove the reader he wasn't crazy, in the end he was.

(I'm not sure if it is right but I hope it helps!)
