Which of the following best highlights paines belief about the Role of government

HACTEHA [7]

Paine believed that society in every state is a blessing but even in the best states the government is at best a necessary evil. He makes a distinction between society and government. To him society is something that fosters the fulfillment of our dreams and desires while government is something to keep our vices in check as man is fallible, if he were not there wouldn't even be a need for a government.

Match each term with its corresponding sentence. Please help!!!!

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Fused sentence- I fell off my bike while riding down the street.

Comma splice- I own two old dirt bikes, they're fun to ride.

Misplaced modifier- While riding my bike, my dog ran up to me.

Fragment- Riding a dirt bike down a long winding path.

Dangling participle- While biking, I wore a helmet it's safer that way.

Explanation:

A fused sentence is when two independent clauses/ sentences are put together as a single sentence without the use of punctuation or a coordinating conjunction to separate them. This type of sentence is also known as a run-on sentence. "I fell off my bike while riding down the street."

Comma splice is when the two independent clauses are put together in a single sentence with the use of a comma to separate them. "I own two old dirt bikes, they're fun to ride."

Misplaced modifier is when the modifier is placed in such a way that it is unsure or confusing to know which noun the modifier is modifying. "While riding my bike, my dog ran up to me."

A fragment is a slice/ piece of sentence that is not complete but just a part of a whole sentence. It is an incomplete sentence. "Riding a dirt bike down a long winding path."

A dangling participle is when the adjective modifies the wrong noun in the sentence. "While biking, I wore a helmet it's safer that way."
