Read the excerpt from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." The sudden arrest of his motion, the abrasion of one of his hands on

the gravel, restored him, and he wept with delight. He dug his fingers into the sand, threw it over himself in handfuls and audibly blessed it. It looked like diamonds, rubies, emeralds; he could think of nothing beautiful which it did not resemble. The trees upon the bank were giant garden plants; he noted a definite order in their arrangement, inhaled the fragrance of their blooms. Which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt?

Which statement best explains this excerpt from act v, scene I, of Twelfth Night? SEBASTIAN: [to OLIVIA] So comes it, lady, you
Feliz [49]
This scene comes at the end of the play, as all has been revealed. In this scene, 

Sebastian says: "<span>So comes it, lady, you have been mistook." By this he means that Olivia has been mistaken, or wrong. He continues, "But nature to her bias drew in that." By this he means, nature has fixed your error and made it right.
 
He explains, "You would have been contracted to a maid," meaning that Olivia would have married a maiden, or a young woman. However, he continues by saying, "Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived; You are betroth'd both to a maid and man." He means that Olivia is not entirely deceived, or not entirely wrong. He says that Olivia married both a young woman AND a young man. He does not mean this literally, of course, since that isn't quite what happened. Instead, he means that the love Olivia had for Sebastian's sister has been transferred into a love for him. And, since he is still a virgin, he is a "maiden" as well as a man.</span>

Now, let's look at the statements:

<span>Sebastian explains that the case of mistaken identity has worked in Olivia’s favor because she has married Sebastian, not Viola.
-- This statement best summarizes Sebastian's words to Olivia. 

Sebastian says that Olivia has mistakenly married a woman instead of a man, which goes against the "bias" of nature.
-- Olivia has not mistakenly married a woman; therefore, this statement would not be correct.

Sebastian is mocking Olivia because she married someone without really knowing that person's identity.
-- Sebastian is not mocking Olivia at all; instead, he is trying to explain how Olivia's mistake worked in their favor after all.

Sebastian is congratulating Olivia for marrying a great man and hiring a maid to help with her household.
-- Olivia has not married a maid to help with her household; this statement as a result is not correct.

Sebastian is unwilling to get married and tells Olivia that it would be a mistake to expect him to do so. 
</span>-- This is not at all what he is saying, as he is in love with Olivia; this statement would not be correct.

Now that you've spotted the problems of shift of person and shift of number, revise the paragraph by removing these inconsistenc
mezya [45]

Answer:

In the story, "The Valiant Woman" by J.J. Powers, we find that in judging people, we overlook most of the characteristics that draw us to them, but we do so without realizing it. We can draw inaccurate conclusions about a person by misjudging their facial expressions, their physical stamina, and their obvious personality traits. When people are blinded by false superiority, they judge a person incorrectly because they fail to see them as they really are.

Explanation:

The paragraph has been revised and the inconsistencies with the shift of person and shift of number have been corrected.

It has been rewritten and consistency was maintained by making use of the first person plural when referring to readers, and the third person plural nouns and pronouns when referring to those being judged.

Which sentence has a misplaced modifier?
monitta

Answer: The sentence that has a misplaced modifier is A. Excited for a bone, Erika told the dog to sit.

Explanation: A misplaced modifier is a modifier that has been incorrectly separated from the word or phrase that it is modifying. In that way, when it is present in a sentence, a misplaced modifier ends up modifying another word or phrase and making the sentence illogical. For instance,<u> in sentence A., "Excited for a bone" is a misplaced modifier since it is incorrectly modifying the noun "Erika"</u>.<u> "Excited for a bone" should actually be modifying the noun phrase "the dog"</u>; otherwise, the sentence does not make sense.
