Improving Your Study Skills
If you follow these simple rules, you will improve your study skills and be more successful in your education. First, you must study regularly. Set aside time every day for studying. Make sure you plan enough time. The amount of time you need depends on what you’re learning. One hour every afternoon may be enough. Or you may need to spend several hours a day. You don’t need a stopwatch, just get to know yourself. Second, make sure that you have a quiet and comfortable place to study. Noise makes concentration difficult. Using a pillow behind your back might make you more comfortable. Third, always try to get a good night’s sleep. Fourth, make sure that you’ve eaten. Getting enough sleep and some food in your stomach helps you concentrate better. Some students love to have a protein shake in the middle of a big study session. Finally, remember to take short breaks while you study. Think about something other than your work. Take a walk. Stretch your back and neck. A five- or ten-minute break every hour will keep your body relaxed and your mind alert. Like any skill, your ability to study must be built. Good study skills are worth the work. They are the keys to success in your education.
Beside the springs of Dove,
A Maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love:
A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye!
--Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky.
She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be;
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me! (Wordsworth, “She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways”)
Which option explains a meaning implied by the use of the adjective untrodden in the excerpt?
The Maid was lost in the woods.
The Maid lived in a rural setting.
The Maid was a nature spirit.
The Maid suffered a life without joy.
the answer is A - lost in the woods
The Maid lived in a rural setting.
Untrodden implies that there aren't many people around. We know that she is not lost in the woods because it says "She dwelt amount the untrodden ways". Dwelt is the verb form of a dwelling which is a place. It also says later that "She lived unknown" which also indicates that she live in a rural setting. We don't see any other evidence that the other options are correct.

"To celebrate our victory!" cried Squealer.
"What victory?" said Boxer. His knees were bleeding, he had lost a shoe and split his hoof, and a dozen pellets had lodged themselves in his hind leg.
"What victory, comrade? Have we not driven the enemy off our soil—the sacred soil of Animal Farm?"
"But they have destroyed the windmill. And we had worked on it for two years!"
"What matter? We will build another windmill. We will build six windmills if we feel like it. You do not appreciate, comrade, the mighty thing that we have done. The enemy was in occupation of this very ground that we stand upon. And now—thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon—we have won every inch of it back again!"
"Then we have won back what we had before," said Boxer.

Answer:
The sentence that has a misplaced modifier is A.
Explanation:
The sentence that has a misplaced modifier is A. A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is separated from the word it modifies or describes. Because of this separation, sentences with this mistake often sound awkward.
In A, the misplaced modifier is the participle phrase "wearing shorts and sneakers". The position of said modifier makes the sentence sound as if the one wearing shorts and sneakers was the dog. The modifier should be placed next to the noun it is supposed to modify. Therefore, a possible version of the sentence would be the following: Wearing shorts and sneakers, I walked my dog this morning.
