Answer 31

wait, I'm a little confused is the question incomplete

Answer 32

I forgot to add the "I" to the the s at the begining. The first worl is "Is"

Answer 33

ok, what does the "underlined portion dangling, misplaced, or correct"
mean?
*sorry, I've never seen this before*

Answer 34

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word or clause it modifies or describes. Because of this separation, the meaning of the sentence is often awkward, ridiculous, illogical, or confusing.

Answer 35

A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that is left out there “hanging” on its own. Whatever it needs to modify has been left out of the sentence. It is not clearly and logically related to the information in the rest of the sentence.

Answer 36

(* means underlined) so its asking, *Flying over the countryside*, the cars and houses looked like toys. is it correct? Misplaced? or Dangling?
