Answer:
A. The woman who cleans the house.
Explanation:
In Metamorphosis, a short story written by Franz Kafka, the main character, Gregor, finds himself at the beginning of the story turned into a sort of bug, which alienates him from his family and from his daily routine, not to mention his own consciousness. Towards the end of the story, Gregor, completely separated from his family, dies after an unfortunate and sad event and, we are told, the woman who cleans the house, without ceremony, gets rid of the corpse.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
'Bright City Lights Are Keeping Ocean Predators Awake and Hungry' is an article written by Damon Bolton. The article talks about the affects of street-lights offshore on sea life.
In his article, Bolton asserts that light pollution has affected the predatory cycle of marine ecosystem. He reported that lights in oceans make prey of seafloor communities more visible to predators such as yellowfin bream and leatherjackets. <u>The artificial lights make sessile invertebrate prey communities more exposed to fish predators during night than day-light, which hampers the marine ecosystem. </u>Thus option D is correct.
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."
A - Although he denies them, Dr. Vasequez faced several scandals last year.
A complex sentences must have both a dependent clasuse (although he denies them) and an independent clause (Dr. Vasquez faced several scandals last year.
Options B and D are compound sentences (two independent clauses) and option C is a simple sentence.
