Identify the type of error in the sentence. if the sentence contains no error, select c. my singing the song was because brittany was ill. lack of parallel structure incorrect adverb clause placement dangling modifier misplaced modifier c

I would say that the correct answer to the request: Identify the type of error in the sentence... would be, C. There are no errors in this sentence.

Explanation:

This is an example of a sentence with an adverb clause that explains and expands the information on the main topic, which is, why the person sang the song. Given the descriptions of these types of sentences, and looking at the grammatical structure, you can see that not only is the adverb clause placed correctly, but also the modifiers used are correct and expand the information correctly, without misleading the reader on what is provided. A reader easily understands that the subject "My", the action "singing the song" is clearly explained and its information amplified by the use of the adverb clause "because Brittany was ill", which is the correct structure for this type of clause, and also, all modifiers are correctly placed. There is no parallel structure here because this structure is applied for verbs used in sentences, to ensure harmony in tenses used, but in this short sentence, that does not apply.

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.
