The answer is: Even though Clarence ran to school, the bell still rang before he got there.

A misplaced modifier is a word, clause or phrase which is wrongly located in the sentence, separated from the word it describes. As a result, the meaning is confusing, ambiguous, or makes no sense. In the example sentence, it is not clear whether Clarence or the bell ran to school.
