1. For some examples, I can clearly see how the meaning of the sentence is altered by the misplaced modifier. For example, number 6 above almost found/found almost changes the meaning of the sentence. For this example, it seems like it makes sense either way. Can something be considered “loose” and still be correct? Select the sentence that is more clear.
A. To immediately watch that game on your computer, you need to install a special download.
B. To watch that game on your computer immediately on your computer, you need to install a special download.
2. Rewrite the sentence twice. Overall, I was confused by the instructions of this exercise because a clause with a subject and verb is what a clause is. Can someone clarify what the expectations are?
Looking everywhere in the library, no books necessary for my paper were on the shelf.
3. Two adjectives should be joined by the word “and” which both sentences have. Which sentence is logically structured?
a. We learned that a good stable should be dry, airy, and filled with good light.
b. We learned that a good stable should be dry, airy, and having plenty of good light.
4. It says to use “any other” when it is necessary to exclude the subject of comparison from the group. What is being excluded here?
a. Recreational facilities here in this small town are not much different from any small town.
b. Recreational facilities here in this small town are not much different from those in any other small town.
5. For double comparisons, it says to make sure there are no problems with the number. “At least” seems like it creating problems with “one”. I think the first sentence makes more sense. Which sentence is logically structured?
a. Jenny is one of the happiest, if not the happiest girl, in that class.
b. Jenny is, if not the happiest girl, at least one of the happiest girls in the class.
