2. in general, how should you revise a sentence with a misplaced modifier? type your answer here

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies or describes. 

Because of the separation, sentences with this error often sound awkward, ridiculous, or confusing.   

   Example:

       On her way home, Jan found a gold man’s watch

                                               Misplaced modifier

The example above suggests that a gold man owns a watch.

Misplaced modifiers can usually be corrected by moving the modifier to a more sensible place in the sentence, generally next to the word it modifies. 

   Example::

On her way home, Jan found a man’s gold watch.

                                                         correct

Now it is the watch that is gold. Did that help?!?!?!

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
