Which sentence has a misplaced modifier?

English
2 answers:
wariber [46]3 years ago

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that has a misplaced modifier is the following one: In school, my mother encouraged me to join the band. That is, the correct option would be B.

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is separated from the word it modifies/describes. Consequently, sentences with misplaced modifiers sound awkward and even confusing.  In this case, the misplaced modifier makes it sound as if the speaker's mother was at school when giving him the piece of advice.

Answer: B. In school, my mother encouraged me to join the band.

The modifier in this case is misplaced as it makes it sound like the mother was at school when she gave the advice. Modifiers can be very important to the structure of a sentence as they can significantly change the meaning if misplaced.

All the other examples express the meaning of the sentence clearly.

You can. If I were you, I would try to use your character inner thoughts to try and start it off. You can do that by using italics. Here's an example:


(Based on a different show, Riverdale. I'm using the last sentence from your story to show you how it would work)


(...) I tried getting my arm free from underneath the bed. As I pulled, I was able to get my hand out. I was appalled, but grateful.

<em>How did that happen? </em>Betty thought to herself as she shook her head.


I hope you undertood that and that it helps.

Yip Harburg wrote the song, "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime" together with Jay Gorney.  The song was inspired by the Great Depression.

</span><span>"I didn't want a song to depress people. I wanted to write a song to make people think. It isn't a hand-me-out song of 'give me a dime, I'm starving, I'm bitter', it wasn't that kind of sentimentality" - Jay Gorney's answer in an interview.</span><span>
