Question

Which sentence has a misplaced modifier?

Answer 1

The last oneIt was the frog that caught my eye on the lily pad in the pond

Answer 2

B. It was the frog that caught my eye on the lily pad in the pond.

Step-by-step explanation:

In sentence B, "It was the frog that caught my eye on the lily pad in the pond," the phrase "on the lily pad in the pond" is a modifier that describes where the frog was located. However, the placement of this modifier creates confusion because it seems to modify "my eye" instead of "frog."

To clarify the intended meaning, the modifier should be placed closer to the noun it is meant to modify. A possible revision could be:

"The frog on the lily pad in the pond caught my eye."
