This is true? I think i might be wrong
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."
Answer:
- Increasing the time on spent on points I and II by 15% each and decreasing the time spent on point III by 30%.
Explanation:
Preparation of an effective speech requires arduous efforts and time. Therefore, it requires to devote the time to each point or idea to be presented depending on the knowledge and experience that the speaker possesses about that particular topic or on the basis of the level of significance of the points.
As per the question, Alexi's speech could be balanced by 'increasing the time she spends on point I and II by 15% each and by reducing the excessive time devoted to point III by 30%' as <u>the 'description of experiences and how vice presidents fail to be a part of the real change' in respect to organization and student government must be elaborated more coherently to persuade the readers</u> and therefore, requires more time. While <u>the last point is a mere suggestion or revelation of the purpose which could be managed in lesser time relatively.</u>
The answer to the question above is the last option: INTRODUCTION. Basically, the introduction in the textbook gives you an overview of what the textbook is all about. It gives you the idea of what are the contents and the purpose of why these topics are being included and discussed. The introduction should be convincing enough in order for the readers to continue reading the textbook.
