Based upon the interaction between Samjay and his parents in “Samjay’s Dream,” what is the MOST likely reason they have yet to give Samjay their decision? (this is from an illuminate test.)

the rhetoric device being used to persuade the audience is pathos.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.
