Identify the problem in the following sentence:
Blowing the whistle loudly, the driver on the road nearby
was surprised by the train.
A. Misplaced modifier
B. Dangling participle
C. Awkward modifier
D. Split infinitive

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Dangling participle.

Explanation:

A dangling participle is a participle that is intended to modify a noun that is not present or included in the sentence. In other words, we can say that a dangling participle is when a participle is used to modify a noun not present or mentioned in the sentence. Or we can say, a participle that wrongly modifies a noun in the sentence.

In the given sentence "blowing the whistle loudly, the driver on the road nearby was surprised by the train", the modifier or participle "blowing the whistle loudly" has no noun to modify. It is left alone in the sentence.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Banks to do—to determine for the so-called freedman, when, and where, and at what, and for how much he shall work, when he shall be punished, and by whom punished. It is absolute slavery.

The options are:

a). by using his own personal experiences to gain their trust

b). by recounting emotional events to evoke sadness  

c). by explaining the reasoning behind his argument

d). by describing how he plans to effect change in the US

Answer:

C). by explaining the reasoning behind his argument

Explanation:

In the given excerpt, Douglass appeals to the readers' logical sense 'by elaborating the causes or reasons behind his argument.' He argues that a group of people determining the time, place, and duration of the work for an individual is basically a form of slavery and supports it with the reasoning that an individual who is free must decide these things independently on his own. The author further explains his point of view that it is not possible to pronounce someone a free man whose decisions are being taken by someone else as these decisions do not actually let them remain free(referring to the black population) and makes them slaves indirectly. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
