The correct answer is A. The balloon was tied to the post before it floated away.

Explanation:

In grammar, a modifier is a word or set of words that describe a noun or any other element. Additionally, a misplaced modifier occurs as the modifier has not been placed beside the word it modifies and therefore the meaning is unclear as the reader does not know which word is the modifier describing. In the case presented, the sentence with a misplaced modifier is "The balloon was tied to the post before it floated away" because in this case the modifier "before it floated away" has not placed beside the word it modifies (the ballon) and therefore it is not clear whether it was the post or the ballon the one that floated away.

How would you describe this? In 2–4 sentences, describe how you would center text.
Arada [10]

To center text, you would have to look up at the tools on the bar above the doc after highlighting the text you want centered. Looking at the bar, there will be only one icon with lines and a arrow facing downwards. If you hover on it it says align, and if you click on it, 4 icons with different set lines will appear. Hovering on the second icon will say center align, and clicking on it will center your text.

I think I did a good job wording it...
