It is important that you use a variety of appeals—to the audience’s logic as well as your own image. a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are many different types of appeals (logos, ethos and pathos being the most common ones) and all of them need to be combined in a text in order to make it interesting and persuasive. If you do not combine a variety of appeals in your text, it can make you seem biased and unprofessional. Moreover, it would make your text less persuasive, and the audience would not be as convinced as they would have otherwise been.

Which of the following sentences has problems with misplaced or dangling modifiers? Check all that apply.

A. After reading the whole book, the plot seemed a little thin.
B. After he finished dinner, Raul turned on the tv.
C. The firefighter rescued the women in a blue nightgown.
D. Jim spotted an eagle as it flew over the Grand Canyon.

Answers

So first things first: we need to find the subject of each sentence, and then we need to find what the modifier of that subject is. To find the subject, we need to ask this question: who or what is doing the action here? In other words, who or what owns the sentence's verb? I've underlined the verb:

A) "the plot" is the subject (because it's the thing that "seemed a little thin")
B) "Raul" is the subject (because he's the one who "turned on the tv")
C) "The firefighter" is the subject (because she's the one who "rescuedthe woman")
D) "Jim" is the subject (because he's the one who "spotted an eagle"

Now that we know the key parts of the sentence (the subject and the verb), we can start to pick out the modifiers. A modifier is a group of words that describes something else in the sentence. The thing a modifier describes doesn't have to be the subject, but knowing the subject and verb can help us understand if a modifier is used correctly.

Let's look at A. We know "the plot" is the subject and that the plot already has a verb: "seemed." The modifier is "after reading the whole book," since this is a phrase that wants to tell us more about the person who read  the whole book. But that person isn't mentioned in the sentence, so the modifier is accidentally describing "the plot," since "the plot" comes right after the modifier. That means that this sentence is telling us that the plot read the whole book. But plots can't read! So this is a misplaced modifier. To fix it, we'd need to say something like, "After reading the whole book, Billie thought the plot seemed a little thin."

B is fine, because "after he finished dinner" describes Raul, who is definitely the one who finished dinner.

C is tricky, though. Who is the one wearing the blue nightgown? Is it the firefighter or the woman who was rescued by the firefighter? Logic tells us that the rescued woman was wearing a nightgown, but the grammar of the sentence does not tell us that. So C has a misplaced or ambiguous modifier.

Finally, D is fine. We know that "flew over the Grand Canyon" can only descirbe the eagle, since we're told that it flew over the canyon. If it had said "Jim spotted an eagle as he flew over the Grand Canyon," then we wouldn't know, grammatically speaking, if it was the eagle or Jim who was flying.

Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.“Blazon”
by Cecilia Woloch

—after Breton

My love with his hair of nightingales
With his chest of pigeon flutter, of gray doves preening themselves at dawn
With his shoulders of tender balconies half in shadow, half in sun
My love with his long-boned thighs the map of Paris of my tongue
With his ink-stained tongue, his tongue the tip
of a steeple plunged into milky sky
My love with his wishing teeth
With his fingers of nervous whispering, his fingers of a boy
whose toys were cheap and broken easily
My love with his silent thumbs
With his eyes of a window smudged of a train that passes in the night
With his nape of an empty rain coat
hung by the collar, sweetly bowed
My love with his laughter of an empty stairwell, rain all afternoon
With his mouth the deepest flower to which
I have ever put my mouth
