Answer 1

The answer should be C i hope its right

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence in option C contains a misplaced modifier "Hidden under the doormat" . This phrase used in this place makes the meaning confusing. What or who is under the doormat? The burglar or the spare key? So, to eliminate the confusion, we can place this sentence after the noun "key" : The burglar easily found the spare key hidden under the doormat.
