Answer 19

The answer is A, as the misplaced adjective clause lies here.

Leah ate her sandwich before opening the door, which was oozing jelly.

Leah ate her sandwich(sandwich is the noun here) before opening the door, which was oozing with jelly.

Oozing with jelly is the adjective clause, but because of it's incorrect placement, it's a MISPLACED adjective clause. Notice how it does not follow the noun that it is describing/modifying.

Now if it were placed like this:

Leah ate her sandwich, which was oozing jelly, before opening the door.

It would be better. The adjective clause follows the noun that it is modifying. Don't get confused with the fact that "door", is another noun in this sentence. We are looking for the noun that is modified by this adjective clause. In this case, the adjective clause modifies the noun, "sandwich", as it describes the sandwich as "oozing jelly", therefore, it is describing it(modifying it).
