Answer:
<h3>It means that his dad was not quite sure about Chris joining the wheelchair basketball team.</h3>
Explanation:
- When Chris met with the accident, his dad Jim took the blame to himself and was never over it. His dad was a man of few words and kept almost everything to himself.
- When Chris told about his parents about the wheelchair basketball team, his mother approved it instantly but his father just stared at him and mumbled few words.
- At this, Chris' mom tells him that his dad is "chewing up his words to see how they taste before he lets them out". She said it to mean that his dad was not quite sure about Chris joining the wheelchair basketball team.
Answer:
Your answer would be D.
Explanation:
The sentence that contains a dangling modifier is D. A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. In the sentence above, "preparing for the experiment" is a present participle expressing an action but does not name the doer of the action. In English sentences, the doer of the action must be the subject of the main sentence. However, the doer of the action is not "several slides" (the subject of the main clause). Slides do not have volition, so they can't prepare an experiment.
As the doer of the action is not clearly stated, the participle phrase is said to be dangling. Consequently, you should name the appropriate or logical doer of the action as the subject of the main clause. In this case, it could be an NP such as "the scientist" or you can turn the whole sentence into a when clause --> When the scientist was preparing the experiment, several slides...
Answer:
One good side of having a mobilephone (or giving one to a kid) is that you will have much more contact. If the person with the phone is in danger, they can call their family and/or the police. Without a phone, this may be much harder to do. A downside of a kid having a mobile phone is that they may be exposed to many things on the internet, especially with social media. They could see thing they do not wish to see, they may be bullied, or they may experience jelousy when seeing other people on social media. In my opinion, phones are a very good resource for schoolwork, watching occasional videos, seeing the news, and staying in contact with family and friends, but this is only up to a certain point.

Answer:
A. Parallelism.
Explanation:
A rhetorical technique is the use of language by writers in such a way to make their stories or texts more persuasive and enhance the arguments or more color. These techniques include alliteration, repetition, imagery, parallelism, personification, etc. among others.
In the given passage from John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wr ath", the writer used the rhetorical technique of parallelism. Parallelism is when there is a form of repetition, similarity in the structure, and use of certain words in the sentence.
The use of <em>"a tw itch in the controls"</em>, <em>"could not tw itch because the m o ns ter that built the tractor"</em>,<em> "the mo n st er that sent the tractor"</em>, <em>"go ogled him and mu z z led him- go og led his mind, mu zzl ed his speech, go o gled his perception, mu z zl ed his protest"</em> are all forms of parallelism in the passage.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
