Answer:

The speaker shows how in the eighth month of waiting, she is sad to see the butterflies flying in pairs, as this reinforces the idea of loneliness that she feels.

Explanation:

"Changgan Memories" by Li Po is a poem about a young couple who had to split up after two years of marriage. The speaker of the poem is the wife who lives lonely and sad waiting for her husband to return. At every moment, the loneliness she feels becomes more intense, reaching the point that everything she looks at reminds her husband is far away.

After waiting for her husband for eight months, she feels sad to see the butterflies flying in pairs through the garden. The butterflies seem happy with each other's company, it makes her feel more sad and lonely. This can be seen by the lines:<em> "And now, in the Eighth-month, yellowing butterflies/ Hover, two by two, in our west-garden grasses/ And, because of all this, my heart is breaking."</em>

Which of the following sentences contains a dangling modifier?

dangina [55]

A dangling modifier is a type of a modifier which is placed incorrectly or the noun it is supposed to modify isn't clearly stated in the sentence.
Having this in mind, the sentence which contains a dangling modifier is <span>A. Playing with the children, it was obvious they had a good time.

It should be rewritten somehow to say: It was obvious they had a good time playing with the children. </span>

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

I am personally feeling scared. So far states kept going from red to blue over and over again and its so nerve racking.

Explanation:

I don't want to tell my political view, not because i'm embarrassed but because i myself am apart of this generation so I know no matter who I say I support, somebody is gonna come for me. And I don't feel like dealing with that right now.

Anyway, I hope to God that our country will get back on its feet and get back the respect that we lost during these last 4 years. I hope that police officers will stop killing innocents just for the color of their skin. I hope Americans will start opening their eyes and realize that everything is not okay, and that America isn't becoming great. I hope that we the people can learn to respect each other without judging each other because of skin color, sexuality, sexual preference, religion, belief, culture, and many other things. I hope America would learn to grow up, not just for ourselves but for other people. I also hope that corona goes away within the next 4 months because my birthday is coming up, and its really annoying at this point.
