Parts of Speech and Modifiers

Question 6 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Choose the version of the sentence with the correctly placed modifier.

Answer
A
There was plenty of time to practice, having Carla arrive at the court early.
B
The court arrived early, so there was plenty of time to practice.
C
Having arrived at the court early, Carla had plenty of time to practice.

Explanation

In choice C, “Having arrived at the court early” clearly describes Carla, the person who arrived. Arriving early gave her plenty of time to practice. In choice A, the modifier is misplaced because it seems to describe “plenty of time” as arriving at the court. Choice B incorrectly says that the court arrived early.
