I believe you are referring to this text:
<span>In the eighteenth century Josiah Wedgwood had made some of the most expensive stoneware ceramics – in jasper and basalt – in Britain, but this tea set shows that by the 1840s, when Wedgwood produced it, the company was aiming at a much wider market. This is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest British households were then able to afford. But the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver.
From the text, the descriptive detail that best aids the reader to visualize the central topic which is a specific early Victorian tea set is "</span><span>some of the most expensive stoneware</span>".
Answer: A
Explanation:
Not quite sure i am right but I believe that A is the answer i would look it up on google just to make sure.
(for person above)^ that's rude! You don't know what they're going through, this might be the only question they ever asked about, they might be an A+ student who does the readings, goes to classes, has no overdues, etc. BE MORE NICE/KIND TO PEOPLE! Anyways, I would say the answer is c - to emphasize his claim that slavery should have no place in the land of the free. :) Hope this helps, have a great day/weekend EVERYONE! <span> </span>
I believe the answer is A, I had this same question on a test last year, and I'm pretty sure that's the answer.
Let us first define the meaning of misplaced modifier; it is a word, clause, or phrase that is improperly placed in a sentence which make it refer or modify an unintended word.
The first, second, and third sentences that are given above sound correct because their modifiers are placed just right. Only the fourth sentence sounded awkwardly and confusing, because the clause "who lives in New York" is improperly separated from the subject "My aunt", which must be described in the first place, and not the "holidays".
The sentence will sound and can be understood better if it is written this way,
"My aunt, who lives in New York, is coming home for the holidays."
