This one: "A. While playing my electric guitar, the amplifier went dead"
It seems to suggest that the amplifier was playing the guitar, which, of course is absurd.
The sentence could be changed in this way: "While I was playing my electric guitar, the amplifier went dead". Further, I think it is better use "when" instead of "while", but the important thing here is to note the dangling modifier.
I think the answer is A. Im sorry if it's not.
<span>D. to explain that he has hope for the future</span>
Answer:
Participle
Explanation:
Participles are verb forms that can be used as adjectives, to create verb tense, or to create the passive voice. There are two types of participles:
- present participle - they end with -<em>ing;</em>
- past participle - they end in <em>-ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n.</em>
These endings make it easier for us to recognize these words. In the given sentence, we have the participle <em>fighting</em>. It's a part of the verb phrase<em> is fighting. </em>
A gerund is a noun derived from the verb by adding <em>-ing</em> to its root. Since we can see that <em>fighting </em>isn't a noun here, we know that gerund is the wrong option.
- ate
- went
- heard
- played
