The hazards of oil drilling were demonstrated when an oil rig in the North Sea exploded.

English
1 answer:
vodomira [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: The sentence is c)

A complex sentence

The sentence is complex because it has a dependent clause (<u>when</u> an oil rig in the North Sea exploded) introduced by the subordinating conjunction <u><em>when</em></u> and it is joined to an independen clause:

[T<em>he hazards of oil drilling were demonstrated (when an oil rig in the North Sea exploded.)]</em>

The sentence (when an oil rig in the North Sea exploded) is thought to be a dependent clause because it does not contain a complete thougth or idea, and it is related to the independent clause, which in turn, represents a complete idea and can stand on its own. In other words, the independent clause does not require futher information because it is complete.

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The answer is sentence number one.

Explanation:

Every word in a sentence has a meaning. Some of them modify the main word. Misplaced modifier is, as its name suggests, such a word modifying not the word its meant to, but a completely different word. Therefore it is misplaced in a sentence. This changes the meaning of a whole or a part of a sentence.

Having this in mind we see that phrase <em>a gold man's watch </em>from the first sentence has illogical meaning. So looking at this phrase we could interpret it as  a watch that belongs to a gold man, which is highly unlikely. Usually a misplaced modifier is corrected by simply changing the order of the words, which means that in this case the phrase should say: man`s gold watch.

Other sentences from the text do not have ambiguous meaning such this.
