Answer:
c. Covered in chocolate, our guests enjoyed freshly picked strawberries.
Explanation:
Misplaced modifiers are those groups of words or phrases that are put in a sentence but do not modify the intended word. Rather, they are placed in such a way that they seem to modify an unintended thing which makes the whole sentence seem awkward.
The misplaced modifier in the given options is seen in option c where the modifier<em> "covered in chocolate"</em> is used in such a way that it seems to modify the "<em>guests</em>" rather than the intended "<em>strawberries</em>'. This makes the sentence seem like the guests were covered in chocolate and not the strawberries.
Thus, the sentence with the misplaced modifier is option c.
The correct answer is option letter C (Those who support slavery are evil, and their souls are doomed.). The book “<em>Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery</em>” by Ottobah Cugoano (1999) is a criticism of slavery by Cugoano, an African descent. In his writing, Cugoano rejects the idea of pro-slavery of that day. In this excerpt presented above, Cugoano argues that the men who worked with slaves (“<em>such men</em>”) had advantages that he did not envied, since those advantages were not good or appreciated. Cugoano describes <em>such men</em> as “<em>that of a blacker kind</em>” of black, a colour that in this case does not describe their skin but their actions and souls. Therefore, that idea would be the nearest <u>clue</u> of their “<em>infernal hue</em>”, that is, that “<em>such men</em>” that support slavery are <u>evil, and their souls are doomed</u>.
