Let us first define the meaning of misplaced modifier; it is a word, clause, or phrase that is improperly placed in a sentence which make it refer or modify an unintended word.
The first, second, and third sentences that are given above sound correct because their modifiers are placed just right. Only the fourth sentence sounded awkwardly and confusing, because the clause "who lives in New York" is improperly separated from the subject "My aunt", which must be described in the first place, and not the "holidays".
The sentence will sound and can be understood better if it is written this way,
"My aunt, who lives in New York, is coming home for the holidays."
Could America have bombed India if they weren’t allies?
The meaning of "Jem had no firm basis for his ideas, he said it was merely a twitch." in chapter 8 in TKAM is that Jem just said what he said as a spur of the moment without a solid plan.
<h3>What happened in
To Kill a Mockingbird?</h3>
This refers to the story that occurred in a very racist town when a lawyer Tom Sawyer decided to defend a black man accused of a crime and his family began to be attacked by his decision to defend the black man.
Hence, it can be seen that Jem was his child and did not have any firm basis for the idea which he said, but they just came out of his mouth, and was so scared the next day.
