ENG7A Module 2 Review

Which answer is the best revision of the inappropriate shift in verb tense?

Dorothy wanders along the yellow brick road with Toto sitting in her basket, searches for clues about how to find the Emerald City.

 

• Dorothy wanders along the yellow brick road with Toto sitting in her basket, searching for clues about how to find the Emerald City.

• Dorothy wandering along the yellow brick road with Toto sitting in her basket, searches for clues about how to find the Emerald City.

Answer explanation

Although both answers seem like they could be correct, the option "Dorothy wandering along the yellow brick road" needs a comma after "Dorothy, wandering along..." because that is an appositive phrase.

This is why the first option is correct.

What is the misplaced modifier?

The Hershey chocolate bar had a shiny wrapper that he ate.

• chocolate bar

• Hershey

• that he ate

• shiny wrapper

Answer explanation

It appears the place that "that he ate" is in the sentence shows that he ate the shiny wrapper, not the Hershey chocolate bar. This making this a misplaced modifier because it is modifying (referring to) the wrong thing in the sentence.
