Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?

English
2 answers:
miss Akunina [59]4 years ago

Answer:

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

Explanation:

A misplaced modifier is a modifier that seems to modify the wrong word in a sentence. The way this sentence is written suggests that it is Jaden who is "enclosed within the metal fence", which is obviously wrong. The misplaced modifier "<em>enclosed within the metal fence</em>" makes the sentence confusing.

Answer:

D. Enclosed within the metal fence

Explanation:

There is no ambiguity in answer choices A, B, and C because all the modifiers in these sentences are put in the right places. Sentence D, contrarily, sounds awkward and illogical because it contains a misplaced modifier.
