Question

the following sentence has a misplaced modifier. the group members met on saturday working on the project together. which revision corrects the error in the sentence? the group members who were working on the project together met on saturday. working on the project together on saturday, the group members met. on saturday, the group members who were working on the project met together. the group members met working on the project together on saturday.

Explanation:

A misplaced - modifier error occurs when a word, phrase, or clause is separated from the word it modifies. In the original sentence, "working on the project together" is awkwardly placed. The correct placement should make it clear that it modifies "the group members". The first option clearly shows that the group members who were working on the project together met on Saturday, fixing the modifier - placement issue.

Answer:

The group members who were working on the project together met on Saturday.
