Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?
A) As Nikki arrived, she saw the band on the stage.
B) The band played songs for the crowd with guitars.
C) Nikki knew nearly every song the band played.
D) She danced and laughed almost all night long.
Answers
Answer: B - The band played songs for the crowd with guitars.
Explanation:
In this sentence, the phrase "with guitars" is a misplaced modifier because it seems to modify the crowd instead of the band. A clearer and more accurate placement of the modifier would be: "The band played songs with guitars for the crowd."

Answer: The modern story of racially biased policing begins with the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) Operation Pipeline, which starting in 1984 trained 25,000 state and local police officers in 48 states to recognize, stop, and search potential drug couriers. Part of that training included considering the suspects’ race.In the 1990s, civil rights organizations challenged the use of racial profiles during routine traffic stops, calling them a form of discrimination. In response, the U.S. Department of Justice argued that using race as an explicit profile produced more efficient crime control than random stops. Over the past decade, however, basic social science research has called this claim into question.
The black -subculture-of- violence thesis has been most fully developed by Wolfgang and Ferracuti (Peterson, 56). Based on research conducted in inner-city Philadelphia in the mid-1950s Keith (Keith, 778) attempt to bring together "psychological and sociological constructs to aid in the explanation of the concentration of violence in specific socio-economic groups and ecological areas." They argue that certain segments of society have adopted distinctively violent subcultural values.There is a paradox in the sociological and criminological literature: the black subculture of violence is perhaps one of the most cited, but one of the least tested, theses. On one hand, the black - subculture-of- violence thesis is widely cited in introductory sociology and criminology textbooks (Peterson, 56). On the other hand, the past three decades have seen a dearth of empirical studies testing the thesis. The preponderance of empirical studies has examined its equally famous thesis--the southern subculture of violence (Peterson, 56)--while neglecting the black -subculture-of- violence thesis. The sparse attention given to the latter thesis has resulted in an imprecise use of the race-- violence association.

Every fossil tells a story. A paleontologist is a scientist who studies fossils to learn what life was like on planet Earth long ago. Fossilized footprints help us understand an animal’s anatomy, size, weight and even behavior. We can see if it traveled in groups or tended to live alone. Fossilized teeth can give us hints about an animal’s diet. We can even learn about the landscape where a plant or animal lived. If there are fish fossils in what is now a desert, we might hypothesize that the landscape was once a body of water. Learning more about those fish fossils—like their age and what kind of water they lived in—will help us learn even more.

Explanation: Based on the information provided, the best heading for the section containing paragraphs 1 and 2 would be option A, "From Africa to Italy." The first two paragraphs provide background information on the migration of early humans out of Africa and their subsequent arrival in Italy, which is summarized by the heading "From Africa to Italy." The other options do not accurately capture the content of the first two paragraphs.
1. Why do humans see themselves as separate from other animals?
2. Should animals have legal rights? Why or why not.
Answers
1.we see ourselves as seperate from other animals because we are more developed than them and we can think deeper than just haunting for food and mating
2.animals definitely should have legal rights because at the end of the day we are all just different species sharing this planet earth
Human cultures formulate rights for humans. Some of those humans will empower some rights for some animals.
If there were a culture that valued human and animal rights equally they would have to have the power to enforce those rights over those who disagree.
Bottom line: Humans enforce human rights over animal rights because they have the power and no animals have the capability of establishing political rights. Rights for animals have to be enforced by interested humans.

Answer:
Definition
Explanation:
You know it's a definition because it provides the meaning of the word inside commas directly after the word. It's not a synonym nor an antonym because it's not one word, and it's not an inference because you're not making an educated guess about the word based on the rest of the sentence. The sentence is directly telling you what the unknown word means, so it must be a definition.

There are so many opportunities to make a difference in another person’s life. As life gets busy, we tend to lose sight of what’s important, like giving back to the community. Here are some ideas to participate in public service. Local soup kitchens and food pantries are always looking for volunteers. There are also many nursing homes that welcome volunteers. Additionally, many nonprofit businesses, like the YMCA, offer opportunities for people to donate their time. I have included many links throughout my blog that guide people to volunteer opportunities in their area. Think about how you would like to give back. Sometimes getting friends involved can make the experience even more meaningful. Get involved today; it’s never too late!

What is a Blog?A blog, sometimes known as a "weblog," is an online journal or informational website that is published on a regular basis by an individual, group, or organization. It is written in an informal or conversational tone and offers facts in reverse chronological order.
A blog still serves the same purpose, but the content is now more varied. Many blogs still function as online journals, but some people started blogging to spread knowledge about a particular topic or establish a credible online presence.
For instance, David Winer, the creator of one of the most well-known blogs, Scripting News, posts essays on his own website on software development, technological trends, and daily living.
On the other side, Natasha Kravchuk's culinary blog, Natasha's Kitchen, features recipes and how-to guides for using particular kitchen items. Her blog is a great place to get recipes, including vegetarian and festive dishes.
As was already established, blogging has developed into a lucrative job option, particularly during the pandemic. In fact, over 50% of blogs saw an increase in visitors, and over 35% of bloggers saw an increase in income during this time.

Answer:
They were younger boys who would serve as drummers for western armies in the second half of the 19th century.
Answer:
During the second half of the 19th century, it was accepted in many western armies that under aged boys served as drummers. Although there were usually official age limits, these were often ignored; the youngest boys were sometimes treated as mascots by the adult soldiers.
Explanation:
A drummer was responsible for the army drums for use on the battlefield. Drums were part of the field music for hundreds of years, being introduced by the Ottomans to Europe. Chinese armies however had used drums even before that. With the professionalization of armies, military music was developed as well.
