<em>We planned to take a trip to Asia in three years or less.</em>
The modifier "in three years or less" was misplaced.
- A <u>misplaced modifier</u> is a word or phrase which is separated from the subject it modifies, thus making the sentence syntactically incorrect as well as illogical:<em> I found the </em><u><em>stained</em></u><em> man's hankerchief</em>.
- A <u>squinting modifier</u> creates ambiguity in a sentence through its placement, by making it unclear which part it modifies (the one that comes before it or the one that comes after it): <em>Combing your hair </em><u><em>softly</em></u><em> detangles it</em>.
- A <u>dangling modifier</u> gives an information without clearly stating its subject in the sentence. It often consists of "<em>having</em> + past participle" or "<em>being</em> + past participle" constructions, like: <u><em>Being tired after the show</em></u><em>, going straight home was the best plan</em>.
I would say the correct answer is <span>C. "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is one of the best known plays of Tennessee Williams. The title of the play needs to be put under quotation marks, and it needs to be capitalized in the correct way (nouns, pronouns, adjectives etc. need to be capitalized). However, the author's name doesn't need quotation marks.</span>
