Answer:
The narrator starts to hear the heart beating while the police officers are in his home. It slowly drives him crazier and crazier, eventually confessing to the officers, thinking they know of his doings and mocking him.
Answer and Explanation:
This question is about the short story "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe.
The narrator is originally a good man who, in the end, kills his own wife and their black cat.
Poe uses several symbols to portray the narrator's mental state. <u>The original household, a good house where the narrator and his wife lived with several pets, represents freedom and balance. That was when the narrator was still a sane, loving man. The fire that destroys his home represents the decay of his mental state, its deterioration. Just like the fire consumed the house, alcoholism is consuming the narrator and his qualities. Finally, the impoverished house and the cellar - damp, dark, and suffocating - represent his insanity. The narrator is now trapped in his own craziness.</u>

Explanation:
Misplaced modifiers are those groups of words or phrases that are put in a sentence but do not modify the intended word. Rather, they are placed in such a way that they seem to modify an unintended thing which makes the whole sentence seem awkward.
The misplaced modifier in the given options is seen in option c where the modifier<em> "covered in chocolate"</em> is used in such a way that it seems to modify the "<em>guests</em>" rather than the intended "<em>strawberries</em>'. This makes the sentence seem like the guests were covered in chocolate and not the strawberries.
Thus, the sentence with the misplaced modifier is option c.
The correct answers are;
