Create an accurate summary of the "good-bye" scene between marilyn and her brother in "the cold equations." provide your answer in three to five sentences.
Answer:
Laura Bush was an active first lady: She advocated for women’s health and promoted education.
Explanation:
<em>Laura Bush was an active first lady: She advocated for women’s health and promoted education </em>is an example of the use of a colon instead of a semicolon between independent clauses. The second sentence explains, illustrates, paraphrases, or expands information given in the first sentence. There is no definite agreement as to whether or not the first word of the second sentence should be capitalized. Usually, if the information in the second sentence is closely related to information from the first, the capital is not used. If the second sentence is a general or formal statement, many writers and editors decide to capitalize the first word. In the given example, the writer decided to capitalize the word <em>she,</em> although others may have done the opposite.
The sentence that contains a misplaced or dangling modifier is the one that follows:
B. Being from a small town in Wisconsin, the subway was a new experience for Matt.
All the information which appears before the comma (being from a small town in Wisconsin) seems to be related to the subway, and not to Matt, since "the subway" appears right after it. Obviously, the purpose was to use a modifier (the whole clause, in this particular case) in order to give information about Matt, and not about the subway. A better way to convey the idea originally intended would be:
Being from a small town in Wisconsin, Matt experienced the subway as something new.
False he was 11 years old and he got <span>sold to slave traders headed to the West Indies.</span>
