this is the excerpt

He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously.

"And what is there special about it?" inquired Mr. White as he took it from his son, and having examined it, placed it upon the table.

"It had something put on it by an old Fakir," said the Sargeant-Major, "a very respected man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it."

"And did you really have the three wishes granted?" asked Mrs. White.

"I did," said the seargent-major, and his glass tapped against his strong teeth.

"And has anybody else wished?" persisted the old lady.

"The first man had his three wishes. Yes," was the reply, "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for demise. That's how I got the paw."

His tones were so grave that a hush fell upon the group.

We saw three lion cubs using binoculars. correct the misplaced modifier. plzzzzzz helppppppp
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Using binoculars, we saw three lion cubs

Explanation:

A misplaced modifier occurs when a word or a phrase is incorrectly placed in a sentence that separates it from the word it modifies, making the sentence have a different meaning.

Therefore, correcting the misplaced modifier in the sentence "We saw three lion cubs using binoculars", we change it to "Using binoculars, we saw three lion cubs"

This is because, from the first sentence, it seems like the cubs were using binoculars, when in actual sense, it was the speaker that used binoculars to see the cubs.
