Answer 1

The easiest way to identify a misplaced modifier is to read them aloud. Generally, if the modifier is misplaced, the sentence won't make sense arranged that way.

The modifier is what adds information about a noun.

Which one seems misplaced?

Answer 3

Answer 4

Okay, so let's look at the rest a little closer.

So, a noun is a person, place, thing, or idea.
A modifier adds information to the noun.

So, look at the nouns and the information provided with them, then tell me if the placement of the two seem to flow logically.

Answer 5

A should be a definite.

Answer 6

i see its a and f

Answer 7

You're correct about f.
A is actually fine the way it is.

Answer 8

There is a different choice that reads awkwardly. This choice is the other misplaced modifier.
It's not "a."
