What type of modifier error is in each sentence? Type M for "misplaced" and D for "dangling". Then correct each sentence:
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Overeating, a weight problem was developed. D

The doctor examined the X-ray in the lab coat. M

Explanation:

As their name suggests, modifiers are used in a sentence to modify another word, giving further information about it.

A dangling modifier is a modifier that does not refer to anything specific in the sentence, which makes it ambiguous. In the sentence "Overeating, a weight problem was developed," we do not know to whom or what "overeating" refers. To correct it, we must specify the word it modifies. For example:

- Due to his overeating, a weight problem was developed. → "overeating" refers to "he" or "him"

A misplaced modifier is simply a modifier whose position in the sentence is too far from the word it modifies, which makes it ambiguous as well. To correct it, all we need to do is change its location. In the sentence "The doctor examined the X-ray in the lab coat," "in the lab coat" is misplaced. Let's correct it:

- The doctor in the lab coat examined the X-ray.

What does harper lee expose in chapter 16?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

This chapter begins right after the incident with the Cunningham mob.  Atticus brings the two children home, and Jem is eating a heaping helping of breakfast.  Aunt Alexandra is very unhappy that Scout and Jem snuck out.

Children who slipped out at night were a disgrace to the family.

Atticus said he was right glad his disgraces had come along, but Aunty said, "Nonsense, Mr. Underwood was there all the time." (ch 16)

Atticus feels differently about the incident than his sister.  He feels that Scout and Jem got an important lesson about people’s behavior, and he is also happy that Scout was able to talk to Mr. Cunningham and bring him to his senses, deflating a very tense situation.

The trial has brought many conflicts to the Finch household.  Aunt Alexandra has a very rigid view of behavior, especially children's behavior.  She thinks that Atticus exposes his children to too many things they should not see.  It is not as much their sneaking out that bothers her, but their continuous involvement in all of the unsavory aspects of the trial.

What would MOST LIKELY happen if Londoners started putting household waste in the Thames again? A) The city’s residents would mo
pentagon [3]

Answer:

C. The water would become polluted.

Explanation:

Thames today is among one of the cleanest rivers across the globe and the question interrogates the impact of dumping wastes into it which would most likely be the pollution of water.<em> If people begin throwing the household waste into the river, it would lead to excessive water pollution again as it happened during 1830-60 when it became so polluted due to industrial and economic waste that it was affirmed to be dead biologically.</em> Around 10,000 people died due to water-borne disease Cholera as a consequence of the pollution of river Thames. Thus, if the people begin dumping again, it may lead to a situation worse than the previous spread of lethal diseases.
