Answer 8

Your answer choice is correct, the answer is "C".

Do you know what a misplaced modifier is?
Misplaced modifier: Modifiers are phrases or clauses in the sentence that add description. A misplaced modifier is the modifier in the sentence that is inserted in the wrong place.

The answer is C because: The cat didn't wash his car, Mr.Ruiz did. SO you have to put the phrase "washing his car" needs to be next to the phrase "Mr.Ruiz."

Does this make more sense now? @NunChuckBoy3101
