To determine which sentence contains a misplaced modifier, you need to understand what a misplaced modifier is. A misplaced modifier occurs when a modifier (a word or phrase that describes or gives more information about another word) is placed too far away from the word it is intended to modify, leading to confusion or illogical meaning.
In the first sentence, the phrase "strolling around the lake" is describing the willow tree, but it is located at the end of the sentence. This creates confusion because it makes it seem like the willow tree is the one strolling around the lake. Therefore, the correct answer is d. "strolling around the lake."
To determine which sentence contains a misplaced modifier, again, you need to understand what a misplaced modifier is. A misplaced modifier occurs when a modifier is placed too far away from the word it is intended to modify, leading to confusion or illogical meaning.
In the second sentence, the phrase "listening to Cuban music" is describing Alexis, but it is placed in a way that suggests the murals were listening to Cuban music. Therefore, the correct answer is c. "Alexis painted the murals listening to Cuban music."
To determine which sentence contains a dangling modifier, you need to know what a dangling modifier is. A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that is intended to modify a word that is not actually present in the sentence, resulting in unclear or illogical meaning.
In the third sentence, the phrase "talking to the doctor" is describing the nurse, but it is placed in a way that suggests the medications were talking to the doctor. Therefore, the correct answer is b. "The nurse arranged the medications on the tray talking to the doctor."
