Which sentence has a misplaced adjective clause?

tia_tia [17]

The correct answer is a. Even the adults were jumping and splashing like children, who usually don't play much.

The clause "who usually don't play much" refers to adults and not children. Here however, due to misplacement, it makes it seem as if the children are the ones who don't play much.

According to benvolio who started the fight

Gre4nikov [31]

This is what Benvolio says (talking to Montague).

"Here were the servants of your adversary,
And yours, close fighting ere I did approach:
I drew to part them: in the instant came
The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared,
Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears,
He swung about his head and cut the winds,
Who nothing hurt withal hiss'd him in scorn:
While we were interchanging thrusts and blows,
Came more and more and fought on part and part,
Till the prince came, who parted either part".

What actually happened was that Sampson and Gregory (Capulet servants) intended to provoke some of Montague's men into a fight. With Sampson biting his thumb, a verbal argument soon escalates into a fight between the parties. Benvolio then comes along sees the fight and tries to stop it by beating down their swords, using his own to do so. Tybalt then comes along and seeing Benvolio with a drawn sword, attacks. The fight then escalates further with the general citizenry joining in.

Therefore doing a quick precis of Benvolio's words - I saw your servants and those of your adversary (Capulet) fighting. I drew my sword to try and stop them. At that very moment, Tybalt appeared and seeing my drawn sword attacked. I asked him to cease, but he defied this request and wouldn't stop, expessing scorn for Montagues. We were skirmishing, and then more and more of the general citizens joined in, escalating a small disturbance into a major melee until the prince stepped in and stopped it..

That is what you like to do during the holidays? Is it that you prefer to arrange everything in advance or is it that you prefer

Blababa [14]

I would want to rest and do things I want to do. If you take and arrange everything in advance then you will worry if you have everything or not. I would want to watch Tv and hang out with friends. There is a lot more to life than organizing stuff and waiting for that something to happen. Relax and enjoy yourself.
