Answer:

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. A modifier describes, clarifies, or gives more detail about a concept.

In A, opening the window modifies the evening air. Having finished dinner modifies the dishes that were washed in the sink.

C is the only one without a clear word not modified.

Which of the following statements is incorrect? Incorrect syntax can make a sentence confusing. Syntax can help find the meaning

monitta

Answer: Syntax is related to the context of a sentence.

Explanation: Syntax is the arrangement (order) of the words that construct a sentence and it is essentially related to the grammatical function of each word. By knowing the basic syntax patterns used in English (e.g. Subject-verb-object), one can infer the specific meaning of a word in a sentence, and, conversely, incorrect syntax can disrupt such understanding and make the whole sentence confusing. Context does not play a role in syntax and is rather related to semantics.
