Until recently, parents didn’t let their children outside in Rivera Hernández, for fear of the six gangs that controlled the spr

awling neighborhood of 150,000.
The gangs enforced a 6 p.m. curfew. Bodies littered the dirt streets in the morning. The 18th Street Gang set up a checkpoint, and every entering driver was asked: Where are you from? Where are you going? Anyone with wrong answers was shot on the spot.

When Moishe the Beadle returned to Sighet and tried to warn the Jews, why didn’t they want to listen to him?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Most people didn't want to believe that man was capable of such inhumanity to man.

Explanation:

At the start of the Holocaust, and several years in, the Jews lost possessions and their rights little by little.  They were not taken all at once.  So it was hard to believe that such inhumane behavior could be done to anyone.  Plus, they had no idea was to become of them when they were taken from their homes.

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?
Fynjy0 [20]
I think the answer is B. Because there is a period before the sentence: "The cookies were not eaten by the children" choice B contains the misplaced modifier. Unless that was a typo.
Hope this helps!:)

In the short story “Rules of the Game” by Amy Tan, what motivates the narrator to excel at chess?
Firdavs [7]

The desire to gain "invisible strength"


Amy Tan opens the story saying, "I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was a strategy

for winning arguments, respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew it

at the time, chess games." She talks about how gaining this "invisible strength" is one of the benefits of her chess playing. This isn't just mentioned in the first paragraph, but is shown again when she says, " I discovered

that for the whole game one must gather invisible strengths and see the endgame before

the game begins." She likes that chess has all these secrets that must never be told, and prides herself on learning these as she continues to get better.
