This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier

(1) Tony planned to mow lawns and do light landscaping as a summer job. (2) However, he needed to invest some money in his future business.

(3) He bought his truck from a friend that was only two years old.

(4) He borrowed the money from his father, who made him sign an official promissory note.

Answer: (3) He bought his truck from a friend that was only two years old.

Explanation:

The placement of a modifier can create confusion about the meaning of a sentence. In this example, the modifier is "that was only two years old." However, since it´s positioned after "a friend," it becomes uncertain whether is the friend or the truck that was two years old. To fix this kind of mistake, we have to move the modifier closer to the noun it modifies:

He bought his truck that was only two years old from a friend.

Examine this painting which depicts the scene from the first half of Antigone in which Antigone comes upon her brother Polyneice
Free_Kalibri [48]

The painting gives us a concrete, visual image of the horrible conditions in which Polyneices’s corpse was left to rot. It also shows us the conditions in which Antigone stepped out of her home to give her brother an honorable burial and is testament to her courage and her determination to do the right thing. Greek women lived very sheltered lives, and for a Greek woman to step out of her house all by herself in what appears to be the dead of the night was quite noteworthy.

The play provides a context for the painting. It fills in background details and tells us why Antigone has to take such extreme measures to bury Polyneices. It gives us the reason for Polyneices’s death and also tells us why he was denied a rightful burial.

This scene is pivotal to the play because it sets in motion a series of fatal developments. The main conflict of the play is Antigone’s defiance of the king’s orders to bury her brother. In the painting, we see Antigone coming upon the corpse of her brother, with the likely intention of burying him. This act of hers seals her fate and condemns her to death, as required by Creon’s order.

Based on your knowledge of word parts, which word best completes this sentence?
bearhunter [10]
Correct answer 2.) emboldened

Encased refers to the idea that something is enclosed, which does not make sense to be enclosed when he is trying to speak French in Paris. 

Emboldened, the correct answer, means that you are bold and empowered to be bold. 

Ensnared implies that you are caught in something like a trap. 

And Encroached means an intrusion. In this case he did not intrude to speak French in Paris.
