Question

A student wrote the following sentence.

Keiko handed her castle project to her teacher that was late.

How does the misplaced modifier cause confusion in the student’s sentence?

It seems like Keiko is handing a castle to her teacher.
It seems like the teacher is handing a project to Keiko.
It seems like the teacher is the one who is late.
It seems like the teacher did not receive the project.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is the 3rd option because after the sentence mentions the teacher it says “that was late” making the sentence seem like the teacher was the late one and not keiko’s project
