Question

Which sentence has a misplaced adjective clause?

  A. Little Emily, whose parents claimed she was afraid of water, jumped off the diving board.   B. The diving board, which was high above the pool, looked scary to my brother.   C. The popcorn appealed to me that was freshly popped.   D. I waved to Joshua, who was standing in line for a snack. 

Answer 1

the pocorn appealed to me that whas freshly popped <- this is the sentence with the incorrectly placed adjective clause.

in this sentence, the adjective clause is "that was freshly popped", because it is a clause that describes the popcorn.


adjective clauses almost always go next to the noun they are describing, usually in second place right after it.
