Question

Correct the misplaced or dangling modifier in the following sentence: We bought a dog for my grandma named Mr. Woofer. a) We bought a dog named Mr. Woofer for my grandma. b) We bought a dog named Mr. Woofer. c) We bought a dog for my grandma, and his name is Mr. Woofer. d) We bought a dog for my grandma who is named Mr. Woofer.

Answer 1

We bought a dog named Mr. Woofer for my grandma.

Explanation:

A misplaced or dangling modifier is a modifier that is too far away from the phrase it modifies. Named Mr. Woofer is the modifier, and by moving it closer to the phrase it modifies, We bought a dog, It makes the sentence make sense.
