I saw a saute of president Lincoln "walking down the street" which best describes the placement of the underlined participle phrase

A misspelled participial phrase should be placed after the word saw

B misspelled participial phrase should be placed after the word I
C misspelled participial phrase should be placed after the word statue 
D correctly placed the participial phrase

Answer:

B missplaced participial phrase should be placed after the word I

Step-by-step explanation:

The participial phrase "Walking down the street" should be put right after the subject of the sentence, in this case the subject is I, so I walking down the street, saw a statue of president Lincoln, all the other options suggets that you saw the statute and the statue was the one that was walking down the street.
