Identify the sentence that uses a modifier correctly.

English
1 answer:
Ann [662]3 years ago

Answer: C) When Alex came home, his parents were waiting up for him.

Explanation: a misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies or describes. Because of the separation, sentences with this error often sound awkward, ridiculous, or confusing. In the sentence A, it isn't clear who was driving (the bears or the speaker), in sentence B, it isn't clear who was snoring (the alarm or the speaker), in sentence D it is unclear what was eight feet long (the surfboard or the store), so the sentence that uses a modifier correctly, is the corresponding to option C.

Walking by a lane of truth
Running past a road of lies
To see the details of my youth
In which I hear my cries

Looking back I know I tried my best
But more potential could have seeped
Regardless I know have been blessed
As I see myself taking that last leap

Growing as the girl that I was
I see the Spring in my presence
To which there is no pause
Of the blossom in my essence
