Hurry, hurry will make brainiest answer hoping for a few scraps of food, the tiny puppy scooted closer to the table where the man was eating. she placed her paws on the edge of the man's seat to signal that she was hungry. the man gently eased the whining puppy back onto the floor. "no begging," he scolded. pushing his plate away from the edge of the table, the puppy walked away from the man. which participle or participial phrase modifies the wrong noun? a.“hoping for a few scraps of food” b.“whining” c.“no begging” d.“pushing his plate away from the edge of the table”

A participial phrase is a group of words that aims at adding description to a sentence and that consists of a participle and modifiers and/or nouns, pronouns or noun phrases. The participial phrase that modifies the wrong noun in this excerpt is D. “pushing his plate away from the edge of the table,” because it is adding information or making reference to the closest subject in that sentence, that is the puppy, when the subject that is actually pushing the plate is the man.

A possible correction would be "while the man pushed his plate away from the edge of the table, the puppy walked away from him."

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.
