Question

The following sentence has a misplaced modifier.

Answer 1

Answer:

The revision that corrects the error in the sentence is A. Players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices regularly to play on the varsity team.

Explanation:

The sentence Players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend regularly practices to play on the varsity team sounds awkward because the adverb regularly is improperly separated from the verb it is modifying -attend. Therefore, we call it a misplaced modifier. Option A revise the error by placing the adverb regularly right after the verb (also followed by its direct object,) so that the message is clear.

Answer 2

Answer:

Players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices regularly to play on the varsity team.
