Correct the misplaced modifier in the following sentence. (Llc)

"The woman jumped on the chair, screaming."

O The woman jumped on the screaming chair.

O The woman jumped screaming on the chair.

O Screaming, the woman jumped on the chair.

O The jumping woman screamed on the chair.

C is the only one that makes sense, because the woman was the one screaming, not the chair. And she was just screaming in general, not screaming at the chair.

Hope this helps!
