The correct answer is A
emmainna [20.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

A. After making the team, practices and games took up a lot of free time.

Explanation:

Dangling Modifiers:

Modifiers are used by writers to give a clear and logical meaning to sentences.

The above sentence fails to give a clear meaning to who made the team and lost a lot of free time. It sounds vague. - That is why it´s known as a dangling modifier because the word which gives a clearer meaning is missing (dangling).

To understand better the meaning of the sentence, it could read: After Joy made the team, practices and games took up a lot of her free time.

OR

After making the team, Joy´s practices and games took up a lot of her free time.

Can someone please write me a Sonnet Poem
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Sonnets are fourteen lines, as is sonnet 130; this allows Shakespeare to list several qualities of his mistress, then conclude with a couplet that turns the rest of the sonnet on its head. Sonnets have ten syllables per line, as does sonnet 130; this makes the poem read cleanly, with each thought given the same amount of weight in the poem. There are no structural oddities, like shorter or longer sentences, just the steady flow of beautiful poetry. Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter; this makes the singsongy feel of the poem as it compares each attribute of the woman with a quality found in nature
