Fix the sentences above

Answer 1

1. Did you read at the library about the insects?

2. I found a desk with a built-in light fixture for my friend.

3. I looked in the attic for the dresses that belonged to my grandmother.

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure that the modifier word is not too far away from the word it's modifying.

For example, "I found a desk for my friend with a built-in light fixture."

The narrator's friend doesn't have a built-in light fixture. The desk does. So make sure that "built-in light fixture" is near "desk" in the sentence.

I found a desk with a built-in light fixture for my friend.

hope this helped :)
