Gatsby tells Nick about his wealthy midwetern family background and his oxford education. This is a family tradition.
The answers
B
Explanation
Because it right
The underlined participial phrase which is "continuing to stir the soup", is placed incorrectly. The correct sentence should be, "The phone rang and my mother, continuing to stir the soup, answered it". Why is it misplaced? Putting the participial phrase at the beginning of the sentence makes it a dangling modifier because it does not clearly state the specific word it modifies. In the corrected sentence, it is clear now who is being described with the phrase "continuing to stir the soup", which is the "mother".
Of course you can.
"I strike the rock."
It works in first person, present tense.
Other versions would be, "I struck" which is first person, past tense.
