Many arts, including literature, painting, fiction, poetry, and theater, made the Harlem Renaissance special, but music holds a special place in the history of the period. Featuring a new style of piano playing, the people who went to hear this new jazz sound thought it was a refreshing take on an old sound. Jazz began to attract white music fans to traditionally African American clubs, where African Americans visited exclusively. Whites found much in common with their fellow music fans. If the featured pianist played good, then it was good regardless of whether the player was African American or white. What kinds of errors does this paragraph contain?

Dangling modifiers

Misplaced modifiers

Redundancies

Subject-verb disagreements

Troublesome modifiers

Wordiness

Answer:

This passage contains the following errors:

Troublesome modifiers

Wordiness

Dangling modifiers

Misplaced modifiers

Redundancies

Explanation:

A modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that modifies another element in the sentence by giving information about it. A troublesome modifier happens when we use the wrong word because it has a similar meaning to the appropriate word. In this passage, the author uses "good" where "well" would be appropriate.

A misplaced and a dangling modifier both cause ambiguity in a sentence. A misplace one is placed too far away from the element it should be modifying. A dangling one does not really refer to anything in the sentence, having no subject to change. Notice how strange the sentence sounds: "Featuring a new style of piano playing, the people who went to hear this new jazz sound thought it was a refreshing take on an old sound."

Wordiness happens when we take longer than what is necessary to get to the point. It's a result of redundant expressions, or simply the use of too many words. That is found at the beginning of the passage, with excessive examples: "Many arts, including literature, painting, fiction, poetry, and theater, made..."

Redundancy can be typically found in the repetition of ideas, words, or phrases. Notice that this author does use "African American" repeatedly.
