Question

Which identifies a sentence with a misplaced adjective phrase?

Answer 1

Answer:

A sentence with a misplaced adjective phrase is - The computer in the car's trunk needs repair.

Explanation:

Misplaced adjectives or modifiers are the words or phrases that are placed incorrectly. Because of such misplaced modifiers, the sentence sounds quite incorrect, and can also cause a confusion.

The sentence, ‘The computer in the car's trunk needs repair’ is a misplaced adjective. Here the writer should have made use of prepositional clause and the sentence should have been, ‘ The computer needs repair which is in the trunk of the car.’ It could also be, ‘The computer in the trunk of the car needs repair.’
