Question

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?

Answer 1

The answer is B. Amber awed the judges tumbling on the mat.

Answer 2

The sentence that contains a misplaced modifier is the second option.

"Amber awed the judges tumbling on the mat."

The word "tumbling" is a misplaced modifier since in that place of the sentence it is modifying the word judges instead of modifying "Amber."

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies. As a result of the separation, sentences with this mitake often sound awkward, ridiculous, or confusing.
