The Peachtree Road Race: A Race Like No Other David Matherne 1 A common golfer cannot play in the Masters or British Open with t

he world’s best-known golfers, nor can the average tennis player play against the world’s best at Wimbledon. No teenager just learning to drive can bank the turns with professional drivers at the Daytona 500. However, in the sport of road racing, common people and novice joggers can lace up and be in the same race as the world-class runners competing to win it all. The Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, GA is the world’s largest 10K, boasting 55,000 runners who line up for blocks at 7:30am to run down Atlanta’s most famous street. Only a handful, however, really have a legitimate chance to win the prestigious crystal peach and the $15,000 first place prize that comes with it. The Peachtree Road Race is unique as a road race in three distinctive ways: it is run on the 4th of July, it has a rich tradition, and it is the most competitive 10K in the world. 2 One thing that makes the Peachtree Road Race special is that it takes place each year on Independence Day. (1) American flags are waved down Peachtree Street, and nearly everywhere red, white, and blue is seen. Many runners choose to wear stars-and-stripes as a part of their racing outfit, but no one is allowed to wear costumes in this serious race. That means no Statues of Liberty are officially allowed running down the road, as with other%
Which of these statements BEST summarizes the main idea of paragraph 2?

A)
Spectators and runners both make the race special.
Eliminate

B)
The race is different from other races run on holidays.


C)
People dress patriotically to celebrate Independence Day.


D)
The Peachtree is special because it is run on an important holiday.

PLEASE HELP!
Jet001 [13]
Answer.  The final sentence:
_____________________________________
"<span>The salesperson handed a receipt to each customer that was very long. ​"
________________________________________________________ 
   </span>→  <span>is the sentence that contains a misplaced modifier.
_____________________________________________________
    </span>→ Specifically, the placement of the phrase: "that was very long".
______________________________________________________
This is a misplaced modifier, because it is difficult to determine if "very long" modifies either: 1)  the actual "receipt" ; or, 2) the "customer(s)" —specifically, "each customer [that happened to be 'very long"].
