The answer to this question is C - the common error in this sentence is a dangling modifier. The dangling modifier included here, would be the words 'having risen'. It Is unclear in this sentence whether this phrase is referring to the hikers, or the river. The hikers could have been woken up early because of the rains, until we reach the end of the sentence that concerns a river that also could have risen due to the rains.

Has anyone read the book/watched the movie "Lord of the Flies"? If so, can you give details about what it is about, I don't care
Gnoma [55]

William Golding's 1954 novel Lord of the Flies tells the story of a group of young boys who find themselves alone on a deserted island. They develop rules and a system of organization, but without any adults to serve as a 'civilizing' impulse, the children eventually become violent and brutal.

Behind the story is-

Lord of the Flies refers to Beelzebub, another name for the devil. He is also called the Lord of Filth and Dung. Throughout the novel, the children grow dirtier and dirtier, an outward reflection of their inner state. As their savagery and evil increases, they seek a symbol, a god to worship.

Theme-

The major theme of Lord of the Flies is that humans are essentially barbaric if not downright evil. The stranded boys begin by establishing a society similar to the one they left behind in England, but soon their society has degenerated into rival clans ruled by fear and violence; before the book is over, three boys have been killed.

The novel is an allegory, which is a story in which characters, settings, and events stand for things larger than themselves. For example, the island represents the world; Ralph and Jack symbolize different approaches to leadership.

William Golding wrote Lord of the Flies following World War II, during which the Nazis exterminated six million Jews and the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. In this context, the novel's profound pessimism is understandable.

I tried my best to find things about it ;-;

Hopefully it helped?
