<p>Not sure which one of these is correct. Explain why too? thanks</p>
<p>When donating money to charity, you should make it your priority to choose a nonprofit organization that will use your gift wisely.</p>
<p>or </p>
<p>When donating money to charity, a nonprofit organization that will use your gift wisely should be your priority.</p>
<p>Also need help with…</p>
<p>In 2005, online shoppers in the United States charged more money to their credit cards than (in/they did in) 2004.</p>
<p>1) The first one is correct. In the second one, “When donating money to charity” is referring to “a nonprofit organization”, which is incorrect.</p>
<p>Thanks! wasn’t so sure about those two choices. They both sounded correct to me until your explanation</p>
<p>For the first one, remember that a dangling modifier can always be corrected by placing the subject right when it ends (after the comma).</p>
<p>For the second one, I’d choose:
In 2005, online shoppers in the United States charged more money to their credit cards than they did in 2004.
That’s because you need to compare online shoppers with online shoppers and not make the erroneous comparison between online shoppers and a year (2004).</p>
