Question

select the misplaced or dangling modifier.
the paws of the giant panda have enlarged wrist bones that help the animal grip and eat bamboo like thumbs.
submit

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The phrase "like thumbs" is a misplaced modifier. It is intended to describe the enlarged wrist bones, but its placement at the end of the sentence incorrectly suggests that the panda eats bamboo in a way similar to how thumbs eat, rather than clarifying that the wrist bones function like thumbs to grip bamboo.

Answer:

like thumbs
