The correct answer is A
emmainna [20.7K]4 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.

What, according to Hobbes, is the chief end of forming a commonwealth?
tester [92]

Answer: Survival

Explanation:

According to Thomas Hobbes, if there was no government on Earth, people would endlessly fight for resources because they would feel that they each have a right to these resources and this could end the human race.

He therefore argues that it is important that humans create a commonwealth where a sovereign has absolute power over everything such that they can keep people from fighting over resources and therefore ensure the survival of the human race.

What similarities do you see between The Reaping in The Hunger Games and The Ceremony of Twelves in The Giver?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

On the one hand, "The Ceremony of Twelve" takes place each year in December; at this time the Elders select the position that each Twelve will hold in the community. Since this is the final ceremony, it represents a rite of passage into adulthood and is, therefore, the most important ceremony performed for members of the community.

On the other hand, The reaping is a nerve-wracking time because it determines which boy and girl, ages 12 to 18, will serve as the district's tributes in the Hunger Games. Two tributes are drawn in each of the 12 districts, and those tributes are sent to an arena where they fight until only one tribute remains alive.

In both cases there is a ceremony in which adults pick children or teenagers to do something that they don't really want to do. They are picked for roles designated by elders or adults. They don't have a choice.
