Which of the following sentences has a misplaced modifier?

Question

a.He only talks about changing his habits.[Intender meaning: He only talks but does nothing else, like consulting a physician or psychiatrist, about changing his habits.]
b.A dog appeared in my dreams that sang like an angel.
c.The steak on the grill is hers.
d.all of the above
e.none of the above

Answer 1

Sentence B has the misplaced modifier. The sentence sounds like the dream itself sang like an angel instead of the dog singing like an angel.

Answer 2

The one with the misplaced modifier is B, because with B you don't know if the dreams sang or the dog did. Its pronoun ambiguity.

Answer 3

I suppose the "misplaced" is the politically correct way of saying "dangling". At leat that is what we used to call them.

My answer would be sentence B.

It sounds as if the dream is singing.

Answer 4

They all look good to me, so I'd go with (e), none of the above.

Answer 5

b

Answer 6

B
