Final answer:
The sentence with a misplaced modifier is 'On her way home from practice, Rebecca found a golden man's watch.' This suggests the watch belongs to a golden man, which is incorrect. The review questions also addressed proper comma, hyphen, and apostrophe usage.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sentence with a misplaced modifier is:
1) On her way home from practice, Rebecca found a golden man's watch.
This sentence incorrectly suggests that the watch belongs to a 'golden man' rather than describing the watch as being 'golden' and belonging to a man. To correct this, the modifier should be placed next to the word it modifies, hence 'a man's golden watch' would be the correct phrasing, making the modified sentence:
Rebecca found a man's golden watch on her way home from practice.
