.Answer:
<em>Direct object</em>
Explanation:
A gerund phrase (<em>scrubbing with stain remover</em>) is a type of phrase where the main word is a gerund (verb root + -ing). Gerund phrase always serves as a noun and that noun can have the function of a subject, indirect or direct object, predicate nominatives or object of a preposition.
In the given sentence the gerund phrase functions as a direct object where the noun (in this case gerund phrase - <em>scrubbing with stain remover</em>) is receiving the action of the verb<em> tried.</em>
Answer:
The disagreement in this sentence is misplaced modifier.
Explanation:
A modifier, as the name suggests, is a word or phrase used to modify another element mentioned in the sentence. For that reason, <u>modifiers tend to stand close to the word they refer to in order to avoid ambiguity.</u> <u>A misplaced modifier happens</u> when ambiguity is not avoided. <u>The modifier is placed incorrectly, too far from the word it refers to</u>, which makes it difficult to understand and connect the ideas.
<u>In the sentence we are analyzing here "[s]unny yet dusty" is a misplaced modifier. It makes no sense for the word "sunny" to refer to "traveler" in this context. That means this modifier refers to "destination", but is too far away from it in the structure. One way to correct it is:</u>
The traveler finally arrived at her destination, which was sunny yet dusty.
Sir.
I write this letter to show my concern about the increase in violence and criminality in our state. Although speaking for me, I represent all residents who feel threatened and terrified by what is happening.
In my community, and in many others, we have to live with a group of malefactors who plague our peace. We are constantly victims of thefts, in addition to having to live with graffiti from our homes and harassment of women and the elderly. We are in urgent need of help and I know that you can help us.
These malefactors usually meet and do their crimes at night, around 10 pm, in this case, I believe it would be a good time for you and your team to arrest them in the act and remove them from society so that they can be reeducated and stop harassing us so badly.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and I expect answers.
Sincerely,
Lean Dean.
