Answer:

E) as it is now

Explanation:

The word “retire” has a principal meaning of leaving or stopping one’s job at a particular age, but it also has a secondary meaning of withdrawing a unit of currency from circulation. Used in the context of a country discontinuing the penny, the word “retire” has a neutral and objective connotation and is therefore the most appropriate choice for the sentence.

To avoid confusion from a misplaced modifier, a participial phrase should be placed:_____
mario62 [17]

Answer:

C). Next to the noun it describes.

Explanation:

<u>A misplaced modifier is described as the formatting or structural error in which a word or clause is separated or isolated from the noun or pronoun it intends to describe/modify and rather describe an inadvertent word</u> that creates an ambiguous and misleading effect in the sentence.

Thus, such formatting error creates confusion due to the incorrect placement of the participial phrase(that functions to modify a noun or pronoun in the sentence). Therefore, in order to rectify this error of misplaced modifier and avoid such confusion, the participial phrase must be placed 'next to the noun it describes' so that it clarifies which noun or pronoun is being modified by the participial phrase in the sentence. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
