Answer
Brief Explanations:
The original sentence has a misplaced modifier. The phrase "Tired of studying and writing research papers" should modify "the student" not "summer vacation".
- Option 1: Still has the problem of the modifier not clearly referring to the student.
- Option 2: The sentence structure is awkward and the modifier placement is incorrect.
- Option 3: Correctly places the modifier "who was tired of studying and writing research papers" next to "the student".
- Option 4: The sentence structure "came to summer vacation as a relief" is incorrect. It should be "summer vacation came as a relief".
Answer:
C. Summer vacation came as a relief to the student, who was tired of studying and writing research papers.
