Question

Identify the type of error in the sentence. If the sentence contains no error, select C.

She is my favorite teacher because she is a woman who has a good sense of humor and who knows how to explain the textbooks.

1. misplaced modifier
2. incorrect adverb clause placement
3. dangling modifier
4. lack of parallel structure
5. C

Answer 1

I believe the sentence contains no error, so:

5. C

Step-by-step explanation:

After thoroughly analyzing this sentence, I wasn't able to find any of the problems proposed in the options. The sentence does not contain a misplaced or a dangling modifier. A modifier is a word or phrase that qualifies another part of the sentence. If it is dangling or misplaced, the sentence will be ambiguous. The sentence we are studying here has no ambiguity.

The sentence presents parallel structure in "who has a good sense of humor and who knows how to explain the textbooks" -- who + verb + direct object. The adverb clause ("because she is...") is placed in its proper place and does not need to be changed.

Therefore, the sentence "She is my favorite teacher because she is a woman who has a good sense of humor and who knows how to explain the textbooks" is correct.
