Question

Identify the sentence with the correct modifier placement:

• A. Running down the street, my backpack fell off.
• B. I almost saw 30 birds in the sky.
• C. She served sandwiches to the children on paper plates.
• D. Exhausted after the meeting, the report was finally written by Ravi.

Hint:

Ensure modifiers are placed next to the words they modify to avoid ambiguity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

This sentence clearly indicates that the children received sandwiches served on paper plates. Other sentences contain misplaced modifiers:

- (1) suggests the backpack was running.
- (2) suggests the speaker "almost saw" the birds.
- (4) suggests the report was exhausted.
