A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that has landed in the wrong place in the sentence. A modifier must be placed next to the word it modifies. When the modifier is incorrectly placed, the sentence either communicates meaning the writer did not intend--or makes no sense at all!

Answer:
Adverb
Explanation:
Dictionary definition:
a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc. (e.g., gently, quite, then, there ).
Another definition:
An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella). Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.
