Question

Which sentence contains a misplaced or dangling modifier? A) When will your family be going on vacation? B) Uncle Frasier's garden has both tomatoes and green peppers. Eliminate C) The homecoming queen waved to the crowd riding in her convertible. D) Exhausted from the trip, the baby slept through the opening ceremony.

Answer 1

I think the answer is "A".

Answer 2

The only sentence with something wrong in it is C. The way it is set up makes it seem as if the crowd is riding in her convertible instead of the Homecoming Queen. I believe that C is the sentence that contains a misplaced or dangling modifier.


(I say "I believe" but that is my personal way of saying this is the correct answer.)
