To avoid confusion from a misplaced modifier, a participial phrase should be placed

Answer:

To avoid confusion from a misplaced modifier, a participial phrase should be placed next to the noun it describes.

Explanation:

The participle phrase is a grammatical structure composed of a verb conjugated in participle to which objects and complements are added. It has the function of an adjective with respect to a noun in the main sentence.

The verb can have a conjugation in the past participle, that is, with an ending similar to the past tense in regular verbs (ending in –ed) and with different forms in irregular verbs. The present participle conjugation, ending in –ing, is also used, so it can be confused with verbs conjugated in gerund.

Complements in the participle phrase are all those words that modify and add meaning to the verb. Nouns, adjectives, articles, and adverbs can be used.

When using the present participle, the structure of the participle phrase can be confused with a gerund phrase. Its specific difference is that the participle phrase goes immediately before or immediately after a noun, acting as an adjective, describing, limiting or specifying the noun. For its part, the gerund phrase can be in other parts of the sentence and has the function of a noun, either as a subject or as a direct object.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The ultimate outcome of class struggle envisioned by Charles Marx and Friedrich Engels was the triumph of the proletariat over the bourgoisie, the exploiting class of capitalism.

Human history is the history of class truggle, according to Marxism. Marx and Engels stated that the bourgoisie, the ruling capitalist class, exploits the workers. The class of the workers is the proletariat. They predicted the ultimate triumph of the proletariat, the advent of socialism and communism. In the last phase of social evolution, in a communist society, classes would definitely dissappear.

When Washington asks Harmilton to work for him, what song that we have listened
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The song is called "My Shot"

Explanation:

Hi, although you did not present the work you are referring to, we can assume, by the context of the question, that you are referring to the musical "Hamilton" which tells about the life and rise of Alexander Hamilton.

During Act 1 of this musical, we can see how Hamilton was a promising soldier during the American revolution, being very fearless and even going so far as to successfully steal cannons from the British army. Hamilton's resourcefulness draws the attention of Washington, the general, who ends up inviting Hamilton to work with him, being his right-hand man. At this point, the song "My Shot" starts playing in the background. This is to emphasize that this is Hamilton's big chance to be important to the cause he fights and to receive the social ascent he's always dreamed of.

At the end of the passage from Endymion Spring, Blake seems to feel that the book is
mafiozo [28]

Answer: I dont know if that's what you meant but im So Sorry if it's wrong

Explanation:

Blake slowly knelt down before the book. He was frightened though curiosity overruled reason. He was breathing deeply, though he heard a softer breath coming from below him.

"Impossible;' he thought. "It's just a book!”

He told himself that it was his imagination, that a book can’t breathe.  The volume was tilted towards him. He had knocked it back and out of sight upon touching it.

“A conscious book? That's silly! Well. maybe not.“  Blake always read Sci-Fi and horror books where inanimate objects always seemed to emit some sort of energy.  Something that the puny human mind couldn't understand. He didn't believe in any of that. but he decided he turn over the book just in case.

He slowly turned it over. prepared to be attacked. But no attack came.  There was a green liquid covering the back of his hand which began burning his fingers. Just as he made this observation. the same green liquid began pouring first from the right shelf, then the left shelf at an increasing rate. When it touched the carpet, it disappeared.  Blake heard the fast flipping of pages and the cry of a little girl. Then. everything stopped. He heard the clicking sound of heels on a floor which he surmised  was the librarian.

He couldn't trust anyone. Maybe she had something to do with the book. He ran into the other corridor until she left. He waited, breathing heavily. He heard the clicking sound getting softer. and he knew she had walked away.

He ran upstairs and found his mom.

"Mom, I think it's time to leave,” he said, never planning to enter that library again.
