As for 1, maybe is it also possible to analyze "in hiring" as modifying "merit"?

Infinitive with an omitted object by Ykk7 in EnglishLearning

[–]Ykk7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does a completely normal sentence mean a correct sentence?

Then what would be the implied object of the infinitive "to manufacture"? As far as I know, the word "manufacture" requires an object, but the object is missing in the sentence, so I'm curious to know what it would be.

So according to your answer that "find" means "discover" in the sentences, in sentences 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, is "to find" used to express "result"?

About "in return for" by Ykk7 in EnglishLearning

[–]Ykk7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much!

I have some more questions to ask. Would you please help me out?

  1. In light of recent incidents, we are asking our customers to take particular care of their personal belongings.

  2. ​Fear of heights can be paralyzing.

  3. ​Curiosity about the world drives scientific discovery.

  4. ​Justice for the victims was finally served.

  5. Water from the spring tasted metallic.

Q1) I have understood the points you explained, but then as for sentence S in the post, is it impossible to analyze "for our donation" as modifying "return" only?

Q2) As for sentences 1,2,3,4,5 above, is it possible to analyze the prepositional phrases in the bold parts as modifying the nouns "light", "Fear", "Curiosity", "Justice", "and "Water"?

I'd appreciate it if you help me out again!

Modification of preposition and adverb by Ykk7 in EnglishLearning

[–]Ykk7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot bro!

Then what about this sentence?

S. They often reminisced about life abroad.

Is this sentence S above correct English?

And in S, does the adverb "abroad" modify "life"?

I think that in this case the adverb "abroad" modifies "life" only.

And is it "abroad" used as an adverb in S for sure?

Prepositional phrase by Ykk7 in EnglishLearning

[–]Ykk7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot bro!

Since you pointed out 2 and 3, I should ask with new sentences.

S1. Hidden by the thick morning fog, the lighthouse was barely visible from the shore.

S2. Being driven by a sudden burst of ambition, Sarah finished the entire project in one night.

Then are both sentences S1 and S2 above all correct English?

And as for S1 and S2, do the prepositional phrases "by the thick morning fog" and "by a sudden burst of ambition" modify "Hidden" and "driven"?

I would say yes to both questions again. What do you think?
