Which demonstrates the correct use of modifiers?
a phrase that modifies a noun must be adjacent to that noun. Otherwise it is a misplaced modifier. In your examples: A. "washing her dishes" should be next to Kendah: Washing her dishes, Kendah found a broken glass. B. You need to add in a noun representing the person who was startled, and place that noun next to the modifier. Startled by the noise, I knocked the alarm clock to the floor. C. This one works because the modifier is next to "I," where it should be. D. "in plastic bags" should be next to "snacks." Rocco have snacks in plastic bags to his friends.

"Hi, Xyz!" or "Hi Xyz!", which one is grammatically correct (assuming Xyz to be a person's name)?
"Hi, XYZ!" is correct, but "Hi XYZ!" is very common, especially at the beginning of an email. For many people, this is an informal equivalent to "Dear XYZ,".In the Hi formulation, XYZ is a vocative noun phrase. In other words, it is a word or phrase that names the person being addressed. It functions the same as the word Tom in these sentences: "Greetings, Tom." and "Thank you, Tom, for your help with my presentation." Vocatives are always set off by commas, but at the beginning of a sentence, the first comma is suppressed, and at the end of a sentence, the second comma is suppressed.Note that Hi and Greetings are interjections, so the sentence is complete without the normal subject and predicate. Technically, then, these sentences should end with a period or an exclamation point. These fine points are lost on most writers. Consequently, while "Hi, XYZ." and "Hi, XYZ!" are correct at the beginning of an email or a letter, "Hi, XYZ" (no period), "Hi XYZ," and "Hi XYZ" are more common."Hi, XYZ," can also be justified since interjections, with or without vocatives, can be joined to the following sentence with a comma: "Yikes, that will break our budget!" "No, dear, I am not upset." "Hi, Tom, what's new with you?"If I am very excited, I will begin an email with "Hi, XYZ!" Normally, I use "Hi, XYZ,". When my guard is down, I have been known to write "Hi XYZ," which I have acknowledged is incorrect without the comma after Hi. Clear as mud?
