Answer:

Your answer would be that the sentence could be rewritten as follows: While I was playing basketball in the driveway, my ball was punctured by a cactus.

Explanation:

The sentence above contains a dangling modifier. A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that is not clearly and logically related to the word or words it modifies. In this case, the dangling modifier error occurs because the sentence does not specify anything to which the modifier can refer. Consequently, the sentence means that the ball is the one playing basketball in the driveway.

The dangling modifier can be corrected in the following way: change the dangling modifier phrase to a subordinate clause, creating a subject and a verb; then, leave the sentence as it is. Thus, you should introduce the personal pronoun <em>I</em> for the sentence to mean that the one playing basketball in the driveway is the speaker. (see 1).

1) While I was playing basketball in the driveway, my ball was punctured by a cactus.

This is an example of a misplaced modifier. One instead could say,  While I was playing basketball in the driveway, my ball was punctured by a cactus.

How does the idea "ignorance in bliss" fit into Kant's argument?
hichkok12 [17]

Immanuel Kant expressed more than once that Reason does not lead to happiness, but rather takes away from it. For example, in his Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, he says:

"<em>In actual fact too we find that the more a cultivated reason concerns itself with the aim of enjoying life and happiness, the farther does man get away from true contentment</em>."

He explains that Reason sometimes goes against our impulses, and that satisfying those impulses is what brings happiness. The more an individual is aware of their moral duties and what to do to achieve them, the more their reason is in conflict with their happiness. Therefore, "ignorance is bliss". However, he also believed that the goal of Reason is not happiness; the purpose of human life to him was to be morally good, and that is what Reason was for.
