The correct answer is B. They often sound nonsensical or silly

Explanation:

A misplaced modifier is type of grammatical and sentence construction error that occurs when the modifier (word or phrase that describes another) is separated from the word it modifies or placed in a way it is not clear for the reader the word the modifier is describing and in some cases makes the reader believe the word modified is a different one the writer intends to. Due to this, sentences that contain misplaced modifier seem confusing, absurd or lack of sense, for example in the sentence "I see Amanda going to the school" is not clear whether "going to the school" modifies Amanda or I. Thus, the statement that describes sentences with misplaced modifiers is "they often sound nonsensical or silly".
