Let us first define the meaning of misplaced modifier; it is a word, clause, or phrase that is improperly placed in a sentence which make it refer or modify an unintended word.
The first, second, and third sentences that are given above sound correct because their modifiers are placed just right. Only the fourth sentence sounded awkwardly and confusing, because the clause "who lives in New York" is improperly separated from the subject "My aunt", which must be described in the first place, and not the "holidays".
The sentence will sound and can be understood better if it is written this way,
"My aunt, who lives in New York, is coming home for the holidays."
are shifting.
hope this helps and please mark me as brainliest. please

Fallacious reasoning.
Explanation:
Fallacious reasoning also known as a fallacy is described as the reasoning based on faulty or invalid arguments that makes it deceptive. Such arguments weaken or invalidate your claim due to false logic which may affect the credibility of your argument adversely. These fallacies are however often employed by authors deliberately as a tool to either manipulate or convince the readers to believe in the claim. The other times these fallacies occur involuntarily due to ignorance. Thus, <u>'fallacious reasoning'</u> is the reasoning that is built on false or invalid arguments.
