A. When the storm began to abate, we went home.
B. By the light of the moon, I tripped over a rock.
C. The dog that is man's best friend is cat's worst enemy.
D. On the way to the bank, the interest rates went down.

Answer 1

D - On the way to the bank, the interest rates went down.

Why? Because this sentence structure implies that the interest rates were going to the bank (i.e. "interest rates" is the subject of the sentence). You (or one or more other people) were probably going to the bank, during which time the interest rates went down. Yes?

"On the way to the bank, the interest rates went down."

This is an incorrect construction because it makes it sound like the interest rates were on the way to the bank.

It should read, "While I was on my way to the bank, the interest rates went down."
