Answer:

The sentence that contains a misplaced modifier is the following one: The flight was postponed by bad weather for which I had a ticket.

Explanation:

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies or describes, making the sentence sound awkward. The sentence above contains a misplaced clause that modifies the wrong noun (for which I had a ticket), it seems as if the clause was modifying "weather". In facti, it looks as if the speaker had bought tickets for a bad weather. To fix the error and clarify the meaning, you should put the clause next to the noun it is supposed to modify (see 1).

1) The flight for which I had a ticket was postponed by bad weather.

Excerpt from Marsupials
Vesnalui [34]

B) escape from their enemies by jumping away

Escape is spelled correctly in the excerpt. Escape does not have an x. This means option A is wrong and B is correct. C is also wrong because of the spelling of escape and also because it uses the wrong there. In the sentence, their is a possessive adjective. It shows that enemies "belong" to the monkeys since they are the enemies of the monkeys. There means a place, as in over there. They're is a contraction meaning they are. Option D is wrong because of the spelling of escape and the apostrophe in enemie's. An apostrophe is used for contractions or to show ownership. The enemies do not own anything and it is not part of a contraction.
