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.

Can someone write an essay on about should school start later
Alenkinab [10]

It isnt a new thing that children have wanted school to start late but why should it? I believe that school should start later because I think it would have an impacted on some children who get up really early they might be more excited to learn if they werent so tired. I also think that many students wouldnt be late because the slepted in. So in conclusion I think that if school would start later it would benifit everyone and help children be ready to learn.

(dont kill me I know this isnt the best, but I hope i helped)

Why is it wrong to plagiarize even if no one will find out?
dsp73
For one, it's best to remain honest even when no ones looking.  Secondly, i'm sure the author of what ever it is would like to receive credit for the work they've done.  It's just morally & ethically wrong to accept credit for something that's not original work.
