For the past 30 years, a couple have operated a neighborhood grocery store. Last week the city council passed a zoning ordinance that changed the zoning to residential in the area where the grocery store is located. The store is now a(n) .

A nonconforming use.

Explanation:

In a real estate language, a nonconforming use of property are referred to the use of a property that was allowed as per the zoning regulations at the time of building the property, but which can be no longer used because of the new zoning regulations. In simple terms, the operation of property for a particular use is nullified with the new zoning regulations.

In the given case, the grocery store will be considered a nonconforming use because the area in which the store is located has been changed to residential area as per the new zoning ordinance. Though the store was there for the past 30 years, and previously as per the old zoning ordinance it was in operation. But can no longer be in operation as a store in the area that has been announced to be a residential area.

So, the correct answer is a nonconforming use.

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.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
