Answer:

Enclosed within the metal fence, Jaden watched the elephant spraying water with his trunk.

Explanation:

A modifier is misplaced when the object it modifies is not clearly stated in the sentence, therefore the sentence is confusing, and it is wrong. In the sentence,  "Enclosed within the metal fence" is the modifier (it describes the state or situation of a noun), however, its object is not clear in the sentence, as we do not know to whom this modifier is referring to: Is Jaden the one enclosed within the metal fence or is it the elephant?
