Question

Choose the sentence that contains a misplaced modifier.

Answer 1

The correct answer is on the court, the excited fans cheered the players.

This is B

Answer 2

The correct answer is sentence C.

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase or clause which is wrongly distant from the word it modifies or describes. As a result, the phrase leads to confusion, a double meaning or ambiguity.

In this example, the misplaced modifier is "Numbered A26-A30," because it is separated from the word it modifies, which is "seats." Thus, it is not clear whether the people or the seats are numbered.

The right version of the same sentence is:

They found their eats numbered A26-A30 and got ready for the game.
