Choose the sentence in which the prepositional phrase BEST modifies the verb driving.Driving down the street, I saw the cat.
Driving, I saw the cat down the street.
I saw the cat driving down the street.
While driving, I saw the cat down the street.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: the preposition here is "down" - prepositions describe relations between things, and here down says that something was down the street.

The prepositional phrase is the phrase with down - down the street.

It modifies the verb in the first and third sentences.
1) I saw the cat driving down the street.
 3) I saw the cat driving down the street.

In both of the sentence the verb is in the form of present participle

I would choose sentence 1), as it's not ambiguous that the person is driving, not the cat

What is the concept of dramatic irony in literature, and can you provide an example of how it is used in a play, movie, or story?

Answers

Answer:

Dramatic irony is a literary device where the audience or reader knows something that a character in the story does not, creating a contrast between what the character believes and what the audience knows. It often leads to tension, humor, or a deeper understanding of the narrative.

**Example:** In William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," the audience is aware that Juliet has taken a sleeping potion to feign her death. However, Romeo, unaware of this, believes she is truly dead and ultimately takes his own life. The audience's knowledge of Juliet's plan creates dramatic irony in the tragic conclusion of the play.

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

Dramatic Irony Definition: Dramatic irony is a literary device where the characters' words or actions have a different meaning for the reader or audience than they do for the characters themselves. This incongruity often adds depth to the story and engages the audience emotionally.

Example: In the play "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles, Oedipus vows to discover the truth about the murder of the former king of Thebes, not realizing that he himself is the murderer. The audience is aware of Oedipus's tragic fate, creating dramatic tension as they watch him unknowingly unravel the truth.

Argue for or against the limitation of speed limits.

Answers

Since this is an opinion question you can take it either way.

Pros:
 - lower speed may cause lower speed accidents, which are less deadly         than their high speed alternatives
 - lower speed could potentially allow people to get lost less often because        they are able to navigate and respond earlier
 - gas savings from optimal operating conditions                                            (between 88.5 - 96.5 km/h [55-60 mph])

Cons:
 - longer commute times
 - less enjoyable (if you enjoy driving fast)
 - may contribute to overall congestion and increase in accidents as              people spend more time on average on the roads

Either way, support our opinion and you'll be right.

Why is it a mistake to over use exclamation points in your writing

Answers

Because! You sound like you're yelling!
Over using Exclamation marks make the writing seem very slang type. if you know what I mean. it's always better to use an exclamation mark after a few sentences (If you decide to only use it in your writing) but not in every sentence. Be careful for such Literature and Language exams. If your making this make practice writing without them otherwise it will cost you marks on such simple mistakes.
