Which revision fixes the dangling modifier in the sentence?
natta225 [31]

The correct answer is After I took a nice hot shower, my cat lapped up the water on the floor.

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is a term used for an ambiguous grammatical construction in which one word might be incorrectly linked to a modifier (a word that modify a noun). In the example given, in the case given the relationship between nouns and verbs is not clear as it is not clear whether it was the cat who took a hot shower and then lapped up the water or there is another subject involved. However, in the sentence "After I took a nice hot shower, my cat lapped up the water on the floor" each of the actions in the sentence (took a shower and  lapped up) are linked to a subject in a clear way so there is no ambiguity in which subject carried out each action and thus the dangling modifier disappears.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The authors tone in "About Russel" changes from hopeful, to unpromising. In Passage A the author is seen stating, "...Russel's future was bright and without limitation..." This gives a feeling of optimism, and shows that Russel was headed on a good path. This feeling changes in Passage B, as it says, "Further and further Russel slipped away, unable to make eye contact or hold a conversation." This sentence is very discouraging, as it seems all progress made was simply forgotten. Putting these two sentences together, it shows the change in tone dramatically, further proving the point of this change in tone. In conclusion, the tone of each passage is different, as it goes from expectant to hopeless.
