The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba.

One Saturday, Gilbert met me in the library and we flipped through books we thought might be fun. I couldn't study all the time. One book that caught my attention was the Malawi Junior Integrated Science book, used by Form Four students. Hmm, I thought, and flipped it open. There were lots of pictures and diagrams, which I found easy to understand. I saw pictures of cancer and scabies and children stricken with kwashiorkor, like so many who'd wandered the country. One picture had a man in a shiny silver suit walking on the moon.

What is the primary idea that the details in the excerpt tell a reader about Kamkwamba?

Answer:

He is intelligent despite his lack of education.

Explanation:

William Kamkwamba was a young boy from Malawi, a country where a great hunger and drought prevailed. As a young uneducated boy he had a dream to bring water and electricity to his poor town but he was greatly mocked by people around him.

The primary idea from the excerpt tells the reader about William high level of intelligence due to his ability to understand the pictures and diagrams in the science textbook despite the fact that he is not properly educated.

Aleksandr [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The King of Calydon contributes to the central conflict in "Atalanta: the Fleet-Footed Huntress" when he encourages Atalanta to sew with the women instead of hunt; this puts Atalanta at odds with the expectations of society. So, the correct answer option is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The central conflict is the gender conflict and behaviour found in "Atalanta: the Fleet-Footed Huntress." It is through the character of the king that the story shows the prejudice men have towards Atalanta or women in general. When he suggests Atalanta to sew with other women instead of hunting reflects the thought of men towards women. Also, the importance of behaving properly is highlighted irrespective of gender. When the king asks Atalanta to sew he not only demeaned her but also showed himself as a person who thinks gender is superior to behaviour.

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

I'm not completely sure but I would say: C.) Unlike Michelangelo, few painters had the talent to also sculpt statues.

It is the "also" that makes it sound off.
