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.

I need some help on independent and subordinate clauses plz and thank you
Valentin [98]

An independent clause is found in a compound sentence and occurs when each clause can operate as a complete sentence in it's own right.

A subordinate clause adds information but does not serve as a sentence in it's own right for example, it relies on the main clause within the sentence to make sense.

The sentence you construct would be a compound sentence and would read:

The journalist met a source at the hotel SO THAT he would get the facts for an article.
