Which of the following sentences contains a misplaced modifier?

English
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
3 0

The sentence which contains a misplaced modifier is the following:

Alexis painted the murals listening to Cuban music.

The modifier in this sentence is <em>listening to Cuban music</em> and it is ambiguous because the readers cannot be sure about who was listening to Cuban music, the murals or Alexis. They can infer it's Alexis but using their common sense and not the information in the sentence, which points more to the murals. So, this modifier is misplaced.

<u>Another more correct option to place the modifier could be the following:</u>

Listening to Cuban music Alexis painted the murals.
