Question

the following sentence has a misplaced modifier. the group members met on saturday working on the project together. which revision corrects the error in the sentence? the group members who were working on the project together met on saturday. working on the project together on saturday, the group members met. on saturday, the group members who were working on the project met together. the group members met working on the project together on saturday.

Explanation:

A misplaced modifier makes the sentence's meaning unclear. The phrase "working on the project together" should be placed close to the group - members it modifies. In the original sentence, it seems to modify "Saturday" which is incorrect. Option A clearly shows that the group - members who were working on the project met on Saturday. Option B has an awkward word - order. Option C is correct as it places the modifier "who were working on the project" right after "the group members" and also clearly states the time "on Saturday". Option D is still unclear in its structure.

Answer:

C. On Saturday, the group members who were working on the project met together.
