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

The opening phrase “On the way to the store” describes Esperanza’s trip, so it should be followed by Esperanza, the person making that trip. Choice A places the modifier next to “Esperanza saw a poodle,” making the meaning clear. In choices B and C, “on the way to a poodle” incorrectly suggests that Esperanza was traveling toward a poodle.
