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! =)

I would say being a celebrity brings more problems because your getting more benefits now that you were this big celebrity you’re able to get whatever you want when you want you can basically do whatever you want as long as you have the money and A lot of people in the real world don’t like that and they think that just because you have this kind of money that you can do anything which is kind of true because you can you get all the recognition you get all the compensation it and then it starts to turn into a problem with the regular people and then the blog start writing about you and people start to bash and talk down on you just because you were this rich successful person they will make lies up so that the fans or other people won’t like you it starts to become psycho but there’s not always problems that are bad sometimes you have the problems or maybe people that are higher up when I work with you or maybe you have different kinds of contracts that people want you to sign with for more money so it’s not always a hit or miss yes I would say being a celebrity comes with benefits problems and just life itself !

JulsSmile [24]

The Giver, by Lois Lowry, is set in a futuristic dystopian / utopian society. Based on the evidence in the text, the place where Jonas lives seems to be a fairly small community. The community is by a river, which comes up often in the plot (at one point, a four year old boy name Caleb drowns in the river).

The various places within the community include:

The Nursery, the Nurturing Center, the Childcare Center, the Department of Justice, the school, the fish hatchery, the House of the Old, the Rehabilitation Center, the Hall of Open Records, the Hall of Closed Records, the Auditorium (where public events are held, such as the ceremony of twelves), and various family houses (called units or dwellings).

Also, there is a Annex, where the Giver / Receiver lives. It is special and noteworthy because it is the only place in the entire community that has locks on the doors, indicating the Giver / Receiver's unique status in the community.

A VERY important setting is also "Elsewhere," which is what the members of this community call anywhere that is beyond the community. At the very end of the novel, Jonas escapes the community and supposedly makes it to the mysterious "Elsewhere."

What Is the gospel of Luke 3:1-6 saying? Interpretations?

babymother [125]

The gospel of Luke chapter 3 verses 1 to 6, it basically implies about John the baptist. There are some who argue that this might be the official beginning of the gospel as to how it was started, but there is not concrete evidence to prove it. The gospel was started off with the the start of John's ministry. The people mentioned were people of high calibre, authorities over people and lands, and are so called to be VIPs to the society at that time. Tiberius, Philip, and Lysanias were mentioned serve only to date the beginning of John's ministry while Pontius Pilate, Herod, Annas, and Caiaphas were mentioned because they will play an important part upon the crucifixion of Christ. The gospel also tells us that the Lord chooses unlikely people to be his instruments in promoting salvation, thus the mention of John being called in the wilderness. Repentance is involved in preparation to salvation and the forgiveness of sins would pave the way for it. As what the prophet Isaiah has said, it was just the way how everyone should prepare for the coming of the Lord, the King. We are all to be ready at the coming of our Lord.
