Answer:

Symbol

Explanation:

Symbols refer to objects, traits, colors, animals, etc. (anything concrete or with a physical existence) that represent one meaning or several (often an abstract) that are entirely different from the actual meaning of its concrete form.

Examples of symbols are white doves (something concrete) that represent peace, and purity (abstract ideas); the color black that may represent death, and owls that may symbolize wisdom.

The following sentence has a misplaced modifier. Tired of studying and writing research papers, summer vacation came as a relief
Archy [21]

The sentence that sounds the best when you read it out loud is:

C. Summer vacation came as a relief to the student, who was tired of studying and writing research papers.

If you read all the sentences out loud they all sound weird except for this one.
