The answer to your question would be that the sentence that contains a misplaced modifier is the following one: They heard there was a car crash on the evening news. That is, the correct option would be A.

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies or describes. Because of this separation, sentences with misplaced modifiers sound awkward, or even confusing. In this case, the PP "on the evening news" is the misplaced modifier that makes the sentence sound awkard. It shoud be placed in initial position in the sentence as an introductory phrase for the reader to understand that the phrase makes reference to the time and place in which the people heard the news (the evening news).

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST<br><br> please write a paragraph answering one of the questions
Rashid [163]
Aw I'm sorry I can't be very specific since I didn't read the source, but I can help a bit for the first question.

Elements, such as stage directions are strategies that the author uses to create certain aspects.



For example, you can say whether the setting makes the character confident or affects what they can do. If the script is set in the olden-days, the character may not be able to do certain things. For instance, women's rights may be limited.


Dialogue may influence the character's relationships and depict their point of view and position on certain topics.

Also, mood can affect how the characters act. For example, if the mood is gloomy, the characters may reflect on this, causing them to feel gloomy too. This will surely impact their actions, dialogue, and thought, as well as their character traits for that time.


Again, these are some brief examples that you may be able to accumulate from the text, sorry for not being able to give page numbers and such.

Hope this helps a bit at least :)
