Since media res starts right in the middle of the action, it captures the reader’s attention immediately.
To understand how to figure misplaced / dangling modifiers, we must first understand the message that the sentence is trying to convey to us. So let us take a look at the answer choices:
A. The veterinarian, found in the woods with a broken leg, offered to help the dog.
Was the veterinarian found in the woods with a broken leg? And if so, by whom? And if they had a broken leg, why are they concerned with helping the dog, who seems to be fine?
I do not think that answer A is the right choice, so let's move on.
B. Found in the woods, the veterinarian offered to help the dog with a broken leg.
Aha, at least now the dog has something that requires the help of the veterinarian. But why is the veterinarian being found in the woods? Is he some sort of hermit?
Probably not. Moving on!
C. Found in the woods with a broken leg, the veterinarian offered to help the dog.
Now, we are completely stumped as to what was found in the woods with a broken leg. Because it's unclear, we can dismiss it as an option choice.
D. The veterinarian offered to help the dog found in the woods with a broken leg.
NOW we're onto something! The dog was found in the woods with a broken leg, and the veterinarian offered to help. From the looks of things, this makes the most sense, and therefore, option D is the correct answer.
Hope that helped! =)
<span>The correct answer is B. old age. It is a common saying that over time, as people grow old, they become more like children again. At first this is only psychologically but usually at one point when people are too old they also need physical help as if they were children, having to wear diapers, be fed, and many similar things.</span>
It would be "house is what" because "is" would need to be changed to "are".
Answer:
Jan becomes emotionally attracted to Chris, while Alex loves Jan. Chris and Bob are in a secret relationship (don't judge) that they want no one to realize. After Jan confesses to Chris and is rejected, Jan spends the next 2 years of her life investigating Chris, eventually coming to the conclusion that Bob is Chris' sweetheart (again, don't judge). Jan invites Bob on a vacation to Greece, planning to murder Bob to possibly become Chris'. However, on the flight to Greece, the airplane crashes into the Ocean, more than 50 miles from any major piece of land. Backtracking slightly, as we have yet to mention Alex's role. Alex discovers of Jan and Bob's vacation, and misunderstands, believing THEY are the ones who love each other. Alex secretly boards the same flight as the two, and midair, kills the pilot and purposely crashes the plane into the ocean. There were no survivors on the trip, much to Chris' distraught upon his discovery.
What am I doing with my life...
