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.

What is Wiesel trying to do in this passage? APEX
postnew [5]

Answer:

B. Show an example of the United States' indifference to the plight of the Jews.

Explanation:

This refers to a passage in "The Perils of Indifference" in which Wiesel tells the story of the St. Louis. The St. Louis was a ship that sailed from Europe carrying Jewish refugees, but was denied entry in many countries, including the United States. The ship eventually went back to Europe, and many of the passengers perished during the Holocaust. Wiesel wants us to think of this case and reflect on how this shows the indifference of the United States to the plight of the Jewish people.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Jane Eyre is the tale of a youthful, stranded young lady (amazingly, she's named Jane Eyre) who lives with her auntie and cousins, the Reeds, at Gateshead Hall. Jane is excited to have discovered a family finally, and she chooses to separate her legacy between her cousins and herself equitably so they each will acquire 5,000 pounds.

The fundamental clash in Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, encompasses Jane's endeavors to accommodate the world that regularly has no qualities to the code of qualities by which she carries on with her life.
