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.
5 times but it’s concerning you don’t know how to do this. I’m not trying to judge but I’ll try to explain. First trip 9-2=7. Second Trip 7-2=5. Third trip 5-2= 3. Fourth trip 3-2. Fifth trip 1-1= 0.
Answer:
C. horribly beautiful
Explanation:
An oxymoron is when a statement includes contradictory terms in conjunction
horrible and beautiful are contradictory terms as they are seen as complete opposites (you would not use the word horrible to describe something beautiful as they mean completely diffferent things)
Answer:
Jim lifted the heavy bag of concrete because he was as strong as an ox.
Explanation:
It is the fourth one because it is the only sentence describing someone/thing as strong. (as an ox.)
The first one has nothing to do with being strong.
The second one would be correct if it was "The boat was as strong as an ox as it persevered through the rough waters.", but since that isn't the sentence, it wouldn't work.
The third one is incorrect because if the toy was made to be as strong as an ox, why is it breaking into tiny pieces?
Therefore, the fourth one is right. :)
