Which best defines a misplaced modifier?

English
2 answers:

The correct answer is B. A word, phrase, or clause that seems to refer to or modify an unintended word because of its placement in a sentence.

Explanation:

A modifier refers to a word or phrase that describes or modifies others in a sentence and that is essential to understand the meaning of the sentence. On the other hand, a misplaced modifier is a grammatical error that occurs as the modifier is not placed correctly and therefore, the reader might believe it modifies a different word to the one the writer intends. For examples, in the sentence "I saw some flowers going to the school" the words "going to the school" act as misplaced modifier because by placing them at the end it seems the flowers were going to the school and should be corrected as "Going to the school, I saw some flowers". Thus, it is option B the one that defines a misplaced modifier.

Answer:

I believe it is: Li's speech is more effective because it uses visuals of maps and timelines.

Explanation:

Li gave evidence of freedom. While Jackie just repeated phrases over and over again. Jackie's Speech could've sounded like this:

"Freedom is good. Freedom gives people opportunities. Freedom is good because it gives people opportunities. Freedom makes people happy. Freedom is good to make people happy."

Do you see how boring that is? Jackie is just repeating over and over again that "freedom is good."

On the other hand, Li could have something like this: (Please note I just made up the dates to state my point)

"Back in 1745, slaves were kept as.. well slaves. It was not right. So Abraham Lincoln decided to free them. (Here Li would show a graph of how happy the African Americans became after they were free.) Do you see how the happy bar increased?"

Li's speech is waaay more interesting. I hope I have helped! :)
