Answer:
When we correct the misplaced modifier, the sentence becomes:
"Using binoculars, we saw three lion cubs."
Explanation:
We can define modifiers as words or phrases which modify another word in a sentence, that is, which give information about that word. A misplaced modifier is one that is placed incorrectly in a sentence, changing its meaning or causing ambiguity.
<u>In the sentence we are analyzing here, the position of "using binoculars" makes it sound as if the lion cubs were the ones using the binoculars. This is a clear case of misplaced modifier, and all we need to do to correct it is place the modifier closer to the word it refers to, which is "we"</u>:
"Using binoculars, we saw three lion cubs."
