Question

Choose the sentence that contains a misplaced Modifier

Answer 1

To my mind, in the last sentence the pronoun "their" is the misplaced modifiers as its antecedent is not present in the same sentence.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sentence b. On the court, the excited fans cheered the players is the one that contains a misplaced modifier.

Explanation:

A modifier is a word or phrase that gives further information about another word in the same sentence. The position of the modifier is very important, since this word or phrase will describe the noun next to it. In this case, the modifier is misplaced because it is modifying the excited fans -the noun next to the modifier on the court-, so the reader may misunderstand and think the fans were on the court, when the players were the ones actually on the court.

Therefore, the correct version of the sentence would be: The excited fans cheered the players on the court.
