Answer 2

The misplaced modifier is found in the sentence: “Some people, as they drive down the street, throw garbage out the window.” The phrase “as they drive down the street” is placed in the middle of the sentence. Its proper position could be at the ending or beginning of the sentence such as: “Some people throw garbage out the window as they drive down the street” or “As they drive down the street, some people throw garbage out the window.”
