Question

question 4 of 15
question
the city unveiled a monument to honor beautifully designed heroes and their contributions.
the best placement for the underlined portion would be:
a where it is now
b after the words unveiled a.
c after the word their.
d after the word heroes.

Explanation:

We need to determine where the phrase "beautifully designed" should be placed for the sentence to make sense. The phrase describes the monument, not the heroes or their contributions. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: Placing it before "heroes" implies the heroes are beautifully designed, which is illogical.
• Option B: Placing it after "unveiled a" would make the sentence "The city unveiled a beautifully designed monument to honor heroes and their contributions," which makes sense as it describes the monument.
• Option C: Placing it after "their" would be illogical as it doesn't describe "their" (contributions) in a meaningful way.
• Option D: Placing it after "heroes" again implies the heroes are beautifully designed, which is incorrect.

Answer:

B. after the words unveiled a.
