Answer 2

Hello!

The correct answers are:

1) "It implies that the book is wearing glasses"

2) "The modifier 'wearing glasses' is misplaced"

This sentence contains the misplaced modifier "wearing glasses." The modifier is misplaced because it implies that the book is wearing glasses instead of Jennifer. Instead, it could be written as "Jennifer read the book while wearing glasses."
