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).

Which sentence in this excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game" contains an example of personification?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: The example of personification is in the sentence: He struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out, but the <u>wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face</u> and the salt water in his open mouth made him gag and strangle.

Explanation:  The ability to <u>slap</u> someone in the face is a human characteristic.

Another possible example:

There was a chance that his cries could be heard by someone aboard the yacht, but that <u>chance was slender and grew more slender </u>as the yacht raced on.

Slender is an adjective usually used to describe a person's waist or arms. The word is also used to describe other things such as "a slender majority of voters" or "a slender chance of winning"
