overdrawn at the bank, sal’s finances were in disarray

There are a few possible ways to change this sentence and eliminate the dangling modifier:

-Sal was overdrawn at the bank, so his finances were in disarray.

-Because Sal was overdrawn at the bank, his finances were in disarray - this one was suggested by the person before me :)

- Since he was overdrawn at the bank, Sal ended up with his finances in disarray.

Explanation:

A dangling modifier creates ambiguity in the sentence, since it can be misinterpreted as referring to something when it should refer to something else. We can usually eliminate the ambiguity by changing the modifier's position or by adding a few words to the sentence in order to make it clearer.

In "Overdrawn at the bank, Sal's finances were in disarray", the dangling modifier is "overdrawn at the bank". It is not clear if it is Sal or if it is his finances that are overdrawn at the bank. Having chosen to say that it is Sal who is overdrawn, the following options could help end the ambiguity:

-Sal was overdrawn at the bank, so his finances were in disarray.

-Because Sal was overdrawn at the bank, his finances were in disarray - this one was suggested by the person before me :)

- Since he was overdrawn at the bank, Sal ended up with his finances in disarray.

i used to know but i learned it a long time ago sorry

explanation:

beginner

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
