Why are sentences often ludicrous when they
begin with a participial phrase that does not
refer to the subject of the sentence?
The participial phrase introduces the reader to the object
being modified
The participial phrase accidentally modifies the wrong
part of the sentence.
The participial phrase becomes forgotten later in the
sentence.
The participial phrase accidentally modifies the entire
sentence
Answer:
The participial phrase accidentally modifies the wrong part of the sentence.
Explanation:
i did it and it said it was right so yea
Answer:
1st answer:
The participial phrase accidentally modifies the wrong part of the sentence.
2nd answer:
because writing should be vigorous
Explanation:
In Strunk’s example of a ludicrous sentence, the man buying the house is accidentally described as dilapidated, but the author meant to describe the house as dilapidated.
Strunk argues that every word should “tell,” just as every part of a machine or line in a drawing serves a purpose. Any needless words in a sentence should be omitted.
1.1.8 Quiz: Analyze How Shakespeare Develops
LADY MACBETH. Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt
be
What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full oth milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great,
Art not without ambition, but without
The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly,
That wouldst thou holily, wouldst not play false,
And yet wouldst wrongly win. Thou'ld'st have, great Glamis,
That which cries, Thus thou must do, if thou have it,
And that which rather thou dost fear to do,
Than wishest should be undone. Hie thee hither,
That I may pour my spirits in thine ear
And chastise with the valor of my tongue
All that impedes thee from the golden round,
Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem
To have thee crowned withal
William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act l, Scene v
What evidence from the text supports the idea that Lady Macbeth questions
her husband's ability to kill the king?
A. Art not without ambition, but without / The illness should attend it
B. Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem/ To have thee
Crowned withal
C Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be / What thou art
promised
D. He thee hither/ Thatimay pour my spirits in thine ear
Answer:
A. Art not without ambition, but without / The illness should attend it
Explanation:
The lines selected above show how Lady Macbeth questions her husband's ability to be ruthless and assassinate King Duncan for his own benefit. Lady Macbeth acknowledges that her husband is soft-hearted, with little ambition, and that he will fear to assassinate the king for selfish reasons. However, Lady Macbeth stands as a counterpoint to her husband's passivity and proves merciless and cruel, being the main responsible for making him assassinate the king and become the new king.
The excerpt shown above belongs to the play "Macbeth" written by Shakespeare. This play shows how Macbeth, after usurping King Duncan's throne, is haunted by his own sins, until the day of his defeat.

Write a paragraph describing the main conflict in the story and explaining how it demonstrates different cultural perspectives (not the sample answer and the story is “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan)
Answer and Explanation:
"Two Kinds" is a short story by Amy Tan, an American author born in 1959. Tan is famous for her short stories in which Chinese immigrant families are portrayed.
In "Two Kinds," the main conflict is character vs. character, more specifically mother vs. daughter. Jing-mei, also called June, is the daughter of Chinese immigrant Suyuan. The conflict revolves around the differences between the cultures of the two. Suyuan understands tradition and obedience as being essential in the relationship between parents and children. She also believes excellence must be achieved in whatever area or field.
June, on the other hand, was born in America and has already embodied different values from her mother's. She does not understand the need to strive for perfection or to obey blindly. She wants to be free to be herself and to do what she wants, even if it means being mediocre.
The tension between the two starts to build when Suyuan demands that June becomes a child prodigy. At first, June is excited about the idea. With time, she realizes it is no fun to be a prodigy, and that it demands a lot of effort. The main conflict arrives with the piano lessons and the recital. June is forced to learn to play the piano, but she does it halfheartedly. At the recital, all she does is embarrass herself and her family by performing badly. With her performance, she has made her statement: she has the right to be mediocre, and no one can force her to be anything she does not want to.
Read the passage from "Carrots with Character," which
is an informational text about the health benefits of
genetically modified carrots.
The researchers, led by plant geneticist Philipp Simon,
haven't limited themselves to the color orange. They've
selectively bred a rainbow of carrots purple, red,
yellow, even white. Scientists are learning that these
plant pigments perform a range of protective duties in the
human body which is not surprising, says Simon,
since many of the pigments serve to shield plant cells
during photosynthesis.
Red carrots derive their color mainly from lycopene, a
type of carotene believed to guard against heart disease
and some cancers. Yellow carrots accumulate
xanthophylls, pigments similar to beta-carotene that
support good eye health. Purple carrots possess an
entirely different class of pigments-anthocyanins-
Which statement best explains how the author's use of
evidence supports the text's purpose?
The author explains that carrot-breeding has only
been done for the past 50 years.
O The author directly quotes research scientists who
have been studying the carrots.
O The author states that red, yellow, and purple carrots
each provide specific health benefits.
O The author writes that the use of differently colored
carrots in diets dates back over 1,000 years.
Answer: 3rd option
Explanation:
I just know it's that option. Also the text mostly talks about colors and carrots. If you do not know which one the 3rd option is, it's the one that starts with ''The author states that red....'' The forth option is NOT correct because the article never mentions ''carrots in diets dates back over 1,000 years.'' The 2nd option isn't correct either because it does explain how the author's use of
evidence supports the text's purpose but, not that well. The first option isn't correct because the article never mentions ''carrot-breeding has only
been done for the past 50 years.'' Hope this helps

Explanation:
writing an article for publication in school magazing explaining three reasons why standard of learning falling in your school
Answer:
When those of us of a certain age lament the loss of public education's good old days, we forget—or perhaps never knew—that when we were in school, there were large numbers of youngsters who dropped out and went to work. We didn't think of them as dropouts. They had no trouble finding jobs: there was plenty of work for semiskilled, even unskilled, workers. Today, however, as those jobs have been exported to other countries and as the U.S. knowledge economy produces proportionally less employment for those who lack a sound education, students who leave school without skills have meager prospects. Unlike in the past, today we have to educate virtually everyone for higher education or for the modern workplace. And because the demands we place on our school system are greater than in the past, the challenge of improving public education is more acute than ever before, too.
Urban schools, in particular, seem trapped in a spiral of poor educational performance. They have 24 percent of all U.S. public school students, 35 percent of all students who are poor, and 43 percent of minority students. A massive survey of urban education released last year by the respected publication, Education Week, concluded that "most fourth-graders who live in U.S. cities can't read and understand a simple children's book, and most eighth-graders can't use arithmetic to solve a practical problem." Slightly more than half of big-city students are unable to complete high school in the customary four years, and many of those who do eventually graduate are ill prepared for either higher education or the workplace.
Public Agenda, a nonpartisan research organization, recently surveyed 450 employers in New York City for the New York City Partnership and Chamber of Commerce and found massive dissatisfaction with the poor preparation of students. Fully 86 percent of the bosses reported their belief that a city high school diploma is "no guarantee that the typical student has learned the basics." Only 7 percent believe that students coming from the city's public schools have the skills they need to succeed in the world of work. Employers especially fretted over students' lack of the most basic skills, citing their poor grammar, spelling, and math, their inability to write clearly or speak English well, and their poor work habits, including disorganization and lateness. Most employers think that the school system does a poor job of managing its resources, and nearly 90 percent agree that the system suffers from "too much bureaucracy." Some 95 percent believe that the system needs fundamental change, and one-third go so far as to say that it needs to be "completely rebuilt." Employers stand ready to help the schools; but in return they want higher standards, reduced bureaucracy, and accountability from them.
The glaring need for remedial education on college campuses is another sign that students are graduating from high school with weak skills. At some branches of the City University of New York, as is notorious, a majority of first-year students fail to pass all three placement tests in reading, writing, and mathematics. But this is not just a New York City problem or even just a big-city problem. Nationally, about 30 percent of all first-time freshmen have to take a remedial course in basic academic skills.
Clearly, some students—recent immigrants or adults who have been out of school for several years and have returned—will need extra help to participate in higher education. But it is also clear that many young people are completing high school without getting a high school education. For everyone involved, it would be far better to g
Given the ever more crucial need for a strong public school system, along with the mounting evidence of the education system's failure to respond, the clamor to change education to make it more effective for all students is intensifying. The changes needed—and some of them already are starting to happen—are of two kinds, and they complement and reinforce each other.

Suppose that you are working on a project where you are attempting to answer the following research question: What impact will new class size laws have on high schools? Two of the sources you have found on the topic are Source A and Source B (below). In your response, evaluate these two sources. Be sure to examine their credibility and their relevance to your research question. Your response should make a clear argument, use transitions to move between ideas, use specific details from the sources, maintain a formal style, and include a concluding statement. (15 points)
Source A:
"New Education Laws Passed" by Jim Jonathan, City News, March 15, 2012, page 1.
Yesterday, lawmakers passed a series of changes to legislation affecting the state's schools. The new laws will alter the ways schools do business next year.
Included in the new laws were changes in the numbers of students assigned to classrooms. The previous law allowed only 20 students to be assigned to each teacher's classroom in kindergarten through fifth grade. Middle school and high school classes were capped at 24. New laws remove those limits. Now the state will provide funding for one classroom teacher per 50 students attending the school. Individual school districts may use local funding to provide additional teachers or to come up with creative measures to reduce class sizes.
"We need to be more responsible with our taxpayers' money and children," said Representative Mike Davis. "We are in an economic recession and just don't have money to throw around."
Some parents disagree, though. "I can't imagine my six-year-old trying to keep up with his reading when the teacher needs to make sure 40 or more kids are doing what they're supposed to." said Pat Patterson, father of two, "I don't know what these people are thinking."
The new laws go into effect next month.
Source B:
"Really?" a letter to the editor by Marcia Thomas, City News, March 17, 2012, page 4.
As a tenth-grade biology teacher for the last 20 years, I thought there was nothing left that could shock me. Boy, was I wrong!
How exactly do these lawmakers, who probably haven't set foot in a public school classroom since they were in school themselves, propose that teachers manage 50 students at a time?
Teachers are asked to do so much right now. We not only need to prepare our students to take end-of-course tests in our subject areas, we also need to get them ready to attend college or go into the workforce. On top of this, we are counselors, and sometimes we are even the ones who feed and clothe them. We do all this because we care about our youth. We think they matter.
At the same time, we can do only so much. If we meet the high standards we set for ourselves under this new legislation, good health will be a thing of the past for us. Not only will we suffer, but the students will suffer as well.
Answer:
This report gives an overview of the existing evidence base on class size and education in
England. In particular, it considers how class sizes have changed over time; the impact of the
increase in birth rate on pupil numbers and how this could affect the teacher requirement and
class sizes; and the impact of class size on educational outcomes. The report also considers
the impact of the 1998 School Standards and Framework Act1
. This put a duty on Local
Authorities (LAs) and schools to limit the size of infant classes taught by one teacher to 30
pupils. It became a legal requirement from September 2001. Local authority plans, produced
in order to ensure the legal requirement was met, were subject to challenge, approval,
intervention when required, funding and monitoring, and held to account against delivery.

Read this excerpt from President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address on January 20, 1961:
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince.
There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans. The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as Pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the Florentines.
What text evidence supports Machiavelli’s primary purpose to persuade readers that a conquering prince must destroy a former republic if he hopes to hold it? Select three options.
A. the list of cities Rome and Sparta conquered
B. the portrayal of Greece as being held by Sparta
C. the explanation of how Rome held Capua, Carthage, and Numantia
D. the description of liberty as a rallying cry for rebellion in former republics
E. the example of the Florentines losing control over Pisa

Consider the passage and theme.
Liam's first job at the fast-food chain was not glamorous. He worked early-morning shifts, loading biscuits into ovens and dipping countless batches of hash-browned potatoes into vats of grease. Every day he encountered harried, impolite customers and complaining coworkers; nevertheless, he maintained a positive outlook. Liam methodically completed his duties: wrapping sandwiches, filling orders, and cleaning his work space. Liam's manager appreciated his diligence, and by his third month of employment, he was no longer assigned to the pre-dawn shift. Within a year, Liam was an assistant manager earning double his initial pay.
Theme One: Every job is worth doing well.
What other theme is addressed in the passage?
Saving money leads to financial freedom.
Customers should know their rights.
Hard work is often rewarded.
Cleanliness fosters good health.
Answer:Hard work is often rewarded.

Which sentence contains faulty parallelism?
A. In dialogue or a dialogue-like stream of thought
B. In supporting details that have a little importance
C. In the theme statement
D. In the insight of concluding paragraphs
Which sentence contains faulty parallel structure?
A. He ate, ran, and showered before going to work.
B. He purchased the blender on Friday, used it on Saturday, and broke it on Sunday.
C. He exercised while I watch television.
D. I knew he was telling the truth as soon as he spoke the words.
Answer:
C. He exercised while I watch television.
Explanation:
Faulty parallelism simply means mixing up verb forms in a sentence when making a list of things.
Therefore, the sentence that contains faulty parallelism is option C which says "He exercised while I watch television"
This is a faulty parallel structure because it should be written as "He exercised, while I WATCHED television"
