Question

the following sentence has a misplaced modifier. tired of studying and writing research papers, summer vacation came as a relief to the student. which rephrasing fixes the error in the sentence? summer vacation came as a relief to studying and writing research papers for the student. summer vacation came as a relief to the student, who was tired of studying and writing research papers. the student, tired of studying and writing research papers, came to summer vacation as a relief.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the misplaced modifier "Tired of studying and writing research papers" (which should modify "the student"). Let's check each option:

• First option: Modifier still doesn’t target "student" (focuses on vacation’s relation to studying).
• Second option: Unclear (partial text, likely incorrect structure).
• Third option: "Summer vacation came as a relief to the student, who was tired of studying..." correctly places the modifier (via "who") to refer to "student".
• Fourth option: Partial/unclear, and structure likely incorrect.

Answer:

C. Summer vacation came as a relief to the student, who was tired of studying and writing research papers.
