1. To determine which of the following sentences contains a misplaced modifier, we need to understand what a misplaced modifier is. A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies, leading to confusion or ambiguity in the sentence.
Looking at the options:
A. "Grandma bought herself a smart phone, and she uses it only to play video games." - This sentence does not contain a misplaced modifier. It is clear that the smart phone is being used by grandma for playing video games.
B. "Reading until late, it was very hard for me to wake up early this morning." - This sentence does contain a misplaced modifier. The phrase "Reading until late" is not properly connected to the subject it is meant to modify, causing confusion. The sentence could be revised to, "It was very hard for me to wake up early this morning after reading until late."
C. "Please discuss the contract in the envelope with your family." - This sentence does not contain a misplaced modifier. The instruction to discuss the contract with the family is clear.
D. "The psychologist tried to talk to Felix to help him open up about his anger." - This sentence does not contain a misplaced modifier. The psychologist is clearly trying to help Felix open up about his anger.
Therefore, the sentence B, "Reading until late, it was very hard for me to wake up early this morning," contains a misplaced modifier.
2. To identify a run-on sentence, we need to understand what a run-on sentence is. A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses (complete thoughts) are joined in a single sentence without proper punctuation or coordination.
Examining the options:
A. "There are probably hundreds of unknown species in the ocean that will be discovered in the near future." - This sentence is correctly punctuated and does not contain a run-on. It presents a single complete thought.
B. "The phone’s battery ran out Mr. Collins had to borrow one from another passenger." - This sentence contains a run-on. It combines two independent clauses without proper punctuation or coordination. It could be revised as, "The phone’s battery ran out, and Mr. Collins had to borrow one from another passenger."
C. "Death in Venice is a novella by Thomas Mann, a German author." - This sentence is correctly punctuated and does not contain a run-on. It presents a single complete thought.
D. "Even though Dania studied all weekend, she still answered many questions incorrectly on the quiz." - This sentence is correctly punctuated and does not contain a run-on. It presents a single complete thought.
Therefore, the sentence B, "The phone’s battery ran out Mr. Collins had to borrow one from another passenger," is an example of a run-on sentence.
3. To determine which universal truth is best supported by ideas in "The Olympic Swimmer," we need to analyze the themes and messages conveyed in the text.
Looking at the options:
A. "Practice makes perfect." - While "The Olympic Swimmer" likely emphasizes the importance of practice, this specific universal truth is not explicitly supported by the ideas presented in the story.
B. "Winning comes at a price." - Again, although winning may be a central theme in "The Olympic Swimmer," this specific universal truth is not explicitly supported by the ideas presented in the story.
C. "The early bird catches the worm." - This universal truth may be best supported by the ideas in "The Olympic Swimmer." The story likely emphasizes the importance of discipline, dedication, and getting an early start to training and competition.
D. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." - Although the story may touch upon the idea of balancing work and play, this specific universal truth is not explicitly supported by the ideas presented in "The Olympic Swimmer."
Therefore, the option C, "The early bird catches the worm," is the universal truth that is best supported by the ideas in "The Olympic Swimmer."
4. To define the word in all caps, we need to understand its meaning. Based on the sentence provided, we can interpret the word "ITINERANT" to mean someone or something that travels or moves from place to place.
Examining the options:
A. "Acrobatic" - This word does not directly define "ITINERANT."
B. "Acting" - This word does not directly define "ITINERANT."
C. "Country" - This word does not directly define "ITINERANT."
D. "Traveling" - This word directly defines "ITINERANT" and matches the meaning conveyed in the sentence.
Therefore, the word that defines "ITINERANT" in the given context is D. "Traveling."

I don't know about 3 because I have not read that work. If you have read it, you shouldn't have trouble figuring it out.
