Question

select the misplaced or dangling modifier.
the earthy scent of wild rosemary reminded leroy of the roasted potatoes his mother would make as he ran his hand through the fragrant bush.
submit

Explanation:

A dangling modifier creates confusion about what it describes. Here, the phrase "as he ran his hand through the fragrant bush" is misplaced: it incorrectly implies the roasted potatoes were made while Leroy touched the bush, rather than the scent being encountered during that action. The modifier should logically link to the moment Leroy smelled the rosemary, not the preparation of potatoes.

Answer:

The misplaced/dangling modifier is: "as he ran his hand through the fragrant bush"
