Answer 1

The key is to put the main nouns/pronouns or main verbs, and the clauses the that describe them, as close together as possible to make it easier for others to follow. There are several ways to do this. You can rearrange the sentence using connective words that clearly demonstrate relationships, change tenses etc. Here are my solutions:

The farmer saw the flock of birds that damaged his crops flying over the oak tree.

The pants looked much more presentable after all of the wrinkles had bee ironed out.

On Monday afternoon, the police chief posted the mandate against hubcap theft.

Answer 6

Dangling modifiers come out funny. The technique is rearranging or removing some words.
1. Who is flying, the farmer or the flock of birds? It's best to place the phrase "Flying over the oak tree" in the end of the sentence.
***The farmer saw the flock of birds that had damaged his crops flying over the oak tree. OR
***Flying over the oak tree, the flock of birds that had damaged the crops was seen by the farmer.
2. Who does the ironing?
***Ironing out all the wrinkles, Maria made the pants looked more presentable. = I also omitted much.
3. I think there's no problem here, only that the number came after the letter T.
