Is the underlined participial phrase correctly placed or misplaced? Luis noticed many fallen branches strolling through the park. A. misplaced participial phrase B. correctly placed participial phrase

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is A. It is misplaced because it creates an ambiguous sentence, we are not sure what the real meaning of the sentence is. Did Luis notice many fallen branches which were strolling through the park? Or did he notice them while he was strolling? By moving the participle at the beginning of the sentence (Strolling through the park, Luis noticed many fallen branches) we will avoid confusion.

Which describes all of the scientists in this unit? A.
curious

B.
talkative

C.
pessimistic

D.
wealthy

Answers

What do you mean by 'in this unit'? If we're talking about scientists in general it would be A. curious. Not all scientists are talkative, pessimistic, or wealthy. So, that leaves curious. Because, why would you decide to be a scientist if you're not curious about the world and science?

all scientists are different so they all have different personality some can be all some can only be one you never can choose what a scientist is
