5. Which of the following sentences contains an italicized word that's used as a predicate adjective?A. Jerry looks ill today.
B. Jerry looks at the map.
C. Jerry looks disdainfully at the pile of laundry.
D. Jerry looks into the microscope.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The sentence that contains a predicate adjective is A. Jerry looks ill today. A predicate adjective is the first adjective following a linking verb such as to be, or to look, in this case. The word "ill" is an adjective and it follows the verb looks. B is incorrect because "at the map" is a prepositional phrase. C is incorrect because "disdainfully" is an adverb, not adjective. D is incorrect because "into the microscope" is also a prepositional phrase, given that it starts with a preposition.
Answer 2
Answer: the answer is  A, good luck

Which has a mismatch between subject and modifier? As I was ducking under an awning, the heavy rain caught me without a coat or an umbrella.
Ducking under an awning, the heavy rain caught me without a coat or an umbrella.
Ducking under an awning, I was caught without a coat or an umbrella in the heavy rain.

Answers

The sentence with a mismatched subject and modifier is "Ducking under an awning, the heavy rain caught me without a coat or an umbrella." This sentence is wrong because it implies that the heavy rain was the one ducking under an awning. In this sentence, the word after the comma should be the one doing the action of "ducking".

I believe that this is an example of a paraphrase. Because you didn't use the exact words Shakespeare did, but stated the same thing in a different way.
