Answer:

The answer is sentence number one.

Explanation:

Every word in a sentence has a meaning. Some of them modify the main word. Misplaced modifier is, as its name suggests, such a word modifying not the word its meant to, but a completely different word. Therefore it is misplaced in a sentence. This changes the meaning of a whole or a part of a sentence.

Having this in mind we see that phrase <em>a gold man's watch </em>from the first sentence has illogical meaning. So looking at this phrase we could interpret it as  a watch that belongs to a gold man, which is highly unlikely. Usually a misplaced modifier is corrected by simply changing the order of the words, which means that in this case the phrase should say: man`s gold watch.

Other sentences from the text do not have ambiguous meaning such this.

Identify the type of verbal used in the following sentence.
NISA [10]
An infinitive is the verb form using the word "to," as in "to eat," "to play," or "to read." An infinitive phrase includes the base infinitive plus other modifiers or complements. An infinitive phrase can often be used as the subject of a sentence because it refers to the act itself rather than doing the action. In this case, "to make it to the end of the day" is an infinitive phrase acting as the subject of the sentence.

Where is one place in the world you would like to visit? Explain why you would want to visit this place, and what you would want
sineoko [7]
I would one day love to visit France. Not only is it’s beauty overwhelming but the history and cuisine calls me. I’d of course want to travel to Paris and see the sights but I’d also want to indulge in as much food as I could possibly eat. I imagine waking up on a bright yet foggy Sunday morning, and walking to the local café for a hot cup of coffee and a pastry of some sort. Then for lunch I’d walk amongst the other busy people to a big restaurant, somewhere with a great view. So perhaps, I’d choose to go to Le Tréport. Amazing views of the transparent yet blue tinted waves crashing up against the rocks with power and emotion, as if they were alive! Lastly, for dinner. I’d go to a small, family owned kitchen, and ask the waiter for their favorite dish on the menu. Not only do I feel that France can bring out the creativity in someone, I feel that it brings out ones spontaneity. I would love the darker, more negative side of me to disappear as my creativity and love for travel flourished in France!
