Question

  1. which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?

she almost drove her kids to school every day.
almost every day, she drove her kids to school.
she drove almost every day to school with her kids.
she drove her kids to school almost every day.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A misplaced modifier is a word or phrase that is not clearly attached to the word it modifies, leading to confusion. In "She almost drove her kids to school every day," the adverb "almost" is misplaced. It seems to suggest she nearly performed the action of driving (but maybe didn't), whereas the intended meaning is likely that she drove them almost every day. The other sentences place "almost every day" (or its equivalent) correctly to modify the frequency of driving.

Answer:

A. She almost drove her kids to school every day.
