crimeas [40]

Answer: 1. incorrect explanation construction, 2. split infinitive 3. dangling construction 4. poor parallel structure

Explanation:

1.uses is when or is where matches with incorrect explanation construction

2.occurs when an adverb or other word is placed between to and the verb matches with split infinitive

3. does not clearly connect to the word or phrase for which it was intended matches with dangling construction

4. uses dissimilar grammatical constructions matches with poor parallel structure

1. Incorrect explanation construction matches with when or where because those are the words used when it comes to incorrect explanation of some construction in the sentence. Incorrect tenses are one of the usual issues when it comes to grammar.

2. When we have in the sentences 'to' places between verb and adverb that is making a split infinitive. For example, We were told to read each book correctly.

3. Dangling construction is considering group of modifier words instead of noun or phrase in the sentence. The modifier is used to describe a noun or phrase.

4. When it comes to parallel structure, there are sentences that have the same or equivalent meaning but they are not similar grammatically and that is why it is called dissimilar construction.

Three hunters are walking single file. Which of the following would be safe?

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

B. The hunter in front uses the elbow carry.

Explanation:

The safer option would be that the hunter in the front uses the elbow carry. Letter “A” is incorrect because if the hunter in the middle pulls the trigger it could hit the one in the front or even the one in the back. Letter “C” is incorrect because is the most unsafe, since every single hunter would have their gun pointing forward and by accident, they could shoot each other. Letter “D” could be correct, but the correct position if it is a walking single file is that the hunter in the front needs to be in elbow carry while the other two hunters should be in shoulder carry. Those are the reasons why the correct answer is the letter “B”.
