  • Q #1: Which one of the following sentences contains a dangling modifier?

    A. The contented puppy sat by the sleeping young child.

    B. My brother had an old truck that sat by the garage that needed paint.

    C. Adequate lighting is important for anyone who is studying or reading.

    D. Drivers in our state are confused by the outdated driving law.

    Answer Explanation

    Choice B is the correct answer because it contains a dangling modifier, which is a type of misplaced modifier.

    A dangling modifier occurs when a modifying phrase or clause in a sentence does not clearly and logically modify any specific word or phrase in the sentence. It "dangles" without a clear connection to the intended subject.

    In Choice B, the phrase "that needed paint" is the dangling modifier. It is intended to modify either the old truck or the garage, but it is not clear which one. The sentence structure suggests that the truck is the one that needs paint, but the modifier is placed immediately after the word "garage," creating confusion.

  • Q #2: Which of the following sentences correctly uses subject-verb agreement?

    A. Statistics is an interesting subject. However, statistics is often misleading.

    B. Statistics are an interesting subject. However, statistics are often misleading

    C. Statistics is an interesting subject. However, statistics are often misleading

    D. Statistics are an interesting subject. However, statistics is often misleading

    Answer Explanation

    "Statistics is an interesting subject. However, statistics is often misleading."

    In this sentence, both the subject "Statistics" and the verb "is" are in agreement, as they are both singular. The subject-verb agreement rule states that singular subjects should be paired with singular verbs, and plural subjects should be paired with plural verbs. "Statistics" is a singular noun, so it should be paired with the singular verb "is." The other choices have subject-verb agreement errors because they mix singular and plural forms incorrectly.

    A capital letter is used for the first word of a sentence and for all proper nouns (words that name a specific person, place, organization, or thing). Capitalization in D is used to indicate the organization and compared to other others that do not follow the requirements for using capital letters, it makes D the correct answer.
