Answer:

The answer seems to be D.

Explanation:

I cannot explain why D is correct, but I can tell you why the others are wrong.

A: Choice A is a run on sentence. It doesn't have the word "by" between "team...tackling..." If it had the word "by" then it would've been up for consideration, however it would still be wrong since there is no comma to prevent this phrase from becoming a run-on sentence.

B: The beginning of the sentence starts with a dependent clause and ends in an independent clause. This is completely incorrect, and an easy choice to eliminate when you read this.

C: Again, this sentence is really jumbled up. it is a combination of a comma splice and it doesn't have the word "by" between the words I mentioned in the explanation for Choice A. I'd also say that this sentence starts with a sentence fragment. Either way, this choice is most likely wrong.

I'm sorry I could not give you an answer with 100% surity. But, I really am confident that the answer is D. Try it out, comment, and if it works? Rate it and drop a thanks :)

Overview: A look into family drama after a young girl went missing.

Recommended/ Not recommended: Would definitely recommend ! This book keeps you on your toes and the characters thoughts are very complex. I am personally someone who finds it hard to finish a book all the way through, but this one I finished with ease.

A modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that modifies (i.e. changes) the meaning of another word or phrase, usually by adding a
ladessa [460]

The sentences that has a correctly placed modifier are:

  • The mechanic sold the vintage Ferrari to the collector with leather seats.
  • Bored, the movie was long and uninteresting. Getting eight hours of sleep regularly improves daytime energy levels.
  • Driving down the highway, I saw a family of deer.

<h3>What is a modifier?</h3>

A modifier can be regarded as group of words  which could be a phrase or a clause that help to describe more or gives more details about a word.

Therefore in the listed examples, for instance the first one , we can see that  leather seats describes more about the vintage Ferrari car, hence it modifies it.
