Which one of the following sentences contains a dangling modifier?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
My brother had an old truck that sat by the garage that needed paint.
Rationale:
🚗 This sentence contains a dangling or misplaced modifier because it’s unclear whether the truck or the garage needs paint.
🚗 The phrase “that needed paint” is placed after “garage,” making it seem like the garage needs paint, though the intended meaning is likely that the truck needs paint.
🚗 This lack of clarity in the modifier placement creates confusion, which is the hallmark of a dangling or misplaced modifier.
