  • Q #2: Which one of the following sentences contains a dangling modifier?

    A. The contented puppy sat by the sleeping young child.

    B. My brother had an old truck that sat by the garage that needed paint.

    C. Adequate lighting is important for anyone who is studying or reading.

    D. Drivers in our state are confused by the outdated driving law.

    Answer Explanation

    Choice B is the correct answer because it contains a dangling modifier, which is a type of misplaced modifier.

    A dangling modifier occurs when a modifying phrase or clause in a sentence does not clearly and logically modify any specific word or phrase in the sentence. It "dangles" without a clear connection to the intended subject.

    In Choice B, the phrase "that needed paint" is the dangling modifier. It is intended to modify either the old truck or the garage, but it is not clear which one. The sentence structure suggests that the truck is the one that needs paint, but the modifier is placed immediately after the word "garage," creating confusion.

  • Q #3: Which of the following sentences is written correctly?

    A. "Don't stay out too late," My mother said.

    B. "I have to leave!" she said.

    C. "Were you late to the show," he asked?

    D. "It's time to go home." I told him.

    Answer Explanation

    "Don't stay out too late," My mother said - is incorrect. The "m" should be lowercase, not capitalized. 

    "I have to leave!" she said - is correct. This sentence is correctly punctuated. The exclamation mark is placed inside the quotation marks to indicate that she is speaking with excitement.

    "Were you late to the show," he asked - is incorrect. The question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks when it is part of the quoted speech. The correct punctuation would be: "Were you late to the show?" he asked.

    "It's time to go home." I told him - is incorrect. A comma should be placed inside the quotation marks instead of the period.
