Question

Ask a question here.filled with an assortment of cakes, josephine drooled as she peered into the glass display case because she hadn't had dessert in months. what is the misplaced modifier in this sentence?

a. josephine drooled as she peered
b. because she hadn't had dessert
c. into the glass display case
d. filled with an assortment of cakes

Answer 1

The misplaced modifier in this sentence is D. filled with an assortment of cakes.
This is because, the way this sentence is written and due to the location of this modifier, it would seem that Josephine was filled with an assortment of cakes, and not the glass display case. This modifier needs to be moved in order for the sentence to be correct.
