the front tire blew out.
English

Answer:

This sentence has a dangling construction.

Explanation:

A dangling modifier in a sentence is a word or phrase that is supposed to modify another word. A dangling modifier is one that does not refer to anything in specific, which makes it ambiguous. Let's take a look at the sentence:

"While driving to school, the front tire blew out."

The modifier is "while driving to school". Because of its position, it may initially sound as if the front tire was driving to school. We know that to be impossible, and that this modifier refers to a person who was driving. However, that person is not mentioned in the sentence, and that is precisely the problem here. The modifier is not referring to the word it should. One possible way to correct this dangling construction is to add the person who was performing the action to the sentence:

- While I was driving to school, the front tire blew out.

What kind of imagery do these lines from Wordsworth’s "She Dwelt Among Untrodden Ways" evoke?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

C. Visual imagery

Explanation:

This piece is about a person Lucy (whom the speaker admires a whole lot). The speaker captured the rarity & beauty of Lucy's life which was unfortunately missed by people. The speaker would describe Lucy using imagery. He likened her to:

I. the flower Violet (which is not common) in the first line to project her beauty

II. a fair star to further describe her beauty & allure in the third line

<u>In doing this, the speaker used imagery which the eyes can see </u>e.g. flower (Violet), star, sky.

Kinesthetic imagery is used to describe moving objects, gustatory imagery describes what is tasted, tactile imagery describes what can be touched or felt; all these three are NOT the correct answer

<u>Hence, the author used visual imagery. That means option C is the correct answer</u>

Lines 485–523: How does this battle differ from Beowulf’s encounter with Grendel? What is the significance of the similarity bet
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Grendel's mom fights more; pins him and has dagger.

Beowulf fought in both battles.

Explanation:

The difference between the battle between 'Beowulf and Grendel's mother' and 'Grendel and Beowulf' is that 'Grendel's mom is more attacking, she carries a dagger and even pins him.' In return, Beowulf counters her with the sword and breaks her collarbones. The importance of the similarity between the two distinct battles is that 'Beowulf took part in both of them.' Apart from the battle with Grendel's mother, he had an intense battle with Grendel too where the latter attempts to swallow him. However, Beowulf was successful in trashing him down.

Which of the following is written correctly for a periodical citation? (Syng, par. 8). (Syng, 97). (Syng "Lord" 20). (Syng 22).
IgorLugansk [536]
<span>The correct answer is (Syng, 97). That is because you don't need more information since it can easily be found. Syng indicates the name of the author and the number indicates the page where it is on in the publication. You see this and then you turn to the last page and see everything about the publication and where to find it.</span>
