Imperialism was a social, cultural, political, and economic phenomenon of the early nineteenth century in which the main powers began to explore, conquer and colonize the territory of Africa, Asia and Oceania. During this time, Europeans took advantage of the natural resources that were in those continents to promote the industrial revolution. This harmed the native communities of this continent that left them in a state of indigent (poverty and misery). However, Europeans did not feel any responsibility for this condition but instead considered it to be a natural matter. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Indigent
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."
