You didn’t give any options. Therefore, I can not answer. You said “which choice” but did not not give any choices.
Answer:
Let's discuss the meaning of these modifiers first.
A misplaced modifier, as the name suggests, is a word that modifies the wrong word, thus changing the meaning of the sentence (An old child's shirt was used to stop the bleeding - this would suggest that a shirt belonged to an old child, which is highly unlikely. Correct way to say this is A child's old shirt was used...)
A dangling modifier is a modifier that can not be logically connected to the word it modifies, most often because the word it modifies is left out of the sentence (When five years old, my mom remarried - it would be absurd if someone married, let alone remarried at the age of five. This modifier lacks the word it modifies: when I was five years old, my mom remarried).
We can conclude that the correct way to revise these sentences is to change a modifier's place (if misplaced) or add its modifying word (if dangling).
In our example, we see that the map was useless because someone (possibly the reader) was confused by its symbols. However, the confused reader is left out of this sentence, so it might seem as if the map was confused, which is highly illogical.
So, this is an example of a <em>dangling modifier</em> and the best way to revise this sentence is to add a missing modifying word.
"Since Jack was confused by the symbols, the map was useless" could be one of the correct revisions.
Answer:
I’m not happy at all
I’ll pay it
Explanation:
I’m not happy at all
I’ll pay it
What makes both of them wrong is the fact that they were both abbreviated. In a formal letter, we are supposed to keep everything whatsoever we write formal, and as such, "I'm", in place of "I am" and "I'll" in place of "I will" is quite wrong for a formal letter, since the former is an informal way of writing the later.
Changing both context however, to "I am not happy at all", and "I will pay it" makes it fit into the requirements for a formal letter.
