What does Cherry explain as the difference between the Socs and the Greasers?

The Greasers are emotionally sensitive, while the Socs are not.

Explanation:

The Outsiders, S. E. Hinton's novel, tells a story about the two groups of friends - the group of rich kids known as the Socs, and their poor rivals, the Greasers.

Cherry is a girl that belongs to the Socs group, and she describes the different values of the two groups. The Greasers, according to her, are emotionally sensitive, which is not the case for the Socs. The Socs don't "feel", while the Greasers act on everything they feel.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.

third person

explanation:

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.
