D

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

so that only leaves C and A

Answer 5

i say D

Answer 6

it is A

Answer 7

can someone explain how they know?

Answer 8

B C and D are all correctly constructed sentences

Answer 9

for A, it's suppose to be: What a delightful after dinner show you have given us!

Answer 10

I say D bc its not clear, its like saying the door hopped and skipped, we don't know who skipped or hopped

Answer 11

It is A that is incorrect because after-dinner as you wrote it is incorrectly done.....it doesn't need a hyphen because such word is not considered a hyphenated word.....B and C are correct.....and D is just a little off worded but yea i would say A

Answer 12

i had this question before so yeh

Answer 13

yeah i was reading it to fast. A is structured wrong but D makes no sense.

Answer 14

so they are right, its D

Answer 15

thank you all for helping :)

Answer 16

A is still wrong though

Answer 17

OK SO A MISPLACED MODIFIER IS A WORD, PHRASE, OR CLAUSE THAT is seperated from what its supposed to describe cause we dont no who skipped and hopped!!
