Answer:
C. A feathered doll-like creature with the feet of a deer
Explanation:
Tai-me is the central figure of the Kiowa Sun Dance, which is the ritual that was the centerpiece of Kiowa spiritual life until its discontinuation in the late nineteenth century. Tai-me is a small doll, about two feet tall. It is a human-like figure with feathers and the feet of a deer.
The first box is a dangling modifier. The second is a clause. The last is a phrase. (Answers going from top to bottom) :)
Direct characterization is when an author clearly states in the text what kind of personality the character has. For example, if the author writes " Cidney was always sad" That would be direct characterization. Indirect characterization would be " Cidney always seemed to be frowing or pouting" which would then lead you to believe she's always sad. Both of those examples pretty much mean the same thing exept one is direct and the other is making you infer.
<span>A parallel construction refers to the fact that the same form of a word or phrase is used in all of its examples. So, having this in mind, the correct answer is A. being happy, being sad, being depressed, because all of these constructions have a gerund being + an adjective. The other examples aren't as uniform as the first one is, which is why they are not parallel. </span>
