Question

if theres a misplaced modifier in the sentence, fix it.
your answer
building the fort , dr.
doofenshmirtz wore safety goggles ,
word bank
using the words below to form

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The sentence has a misplaced modifier. The participial phrase "Building the fort" should modify the subject performing the action of building, which is Dr. Doofenshmirtz. The correct sentence should be "Dr. Doofenshmirtz, building the fort, wore safety goggles" or "While building the fort, Dr. Doofenshmirtz wore safety goggles" to properly place the modifier so it clearly relates to the subject.

Answer:

To fix the misplaced modifier, reorder the sentence as: "Dr. Doofenshmirtz, building the fort, wore safety goggles" (or "While building the fort, Dr. Doofenshmirtz wore safety goggles").
