Remembering and Reflecting on the Holocaust

Question 1 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 IC

Driving Sid to the airport, the weather was cold and rainy.

Answer
A
Driving to the airport, Sid was cold and rainy.
B
The weather was cold and rainy when I drove Sid to the airport.
C
The weather was cold and rainy driving to the airport.
D
The sentence is correct as written.

Explanation

The opening phrase “Driving Sid to the airport” needs to describe the person doing the driving. In the original sentence, it appears to describe “the weather,” which cannot drive Sid. Choice B makes the subject clear by saying “when I drove Sid to the airport,” so the weather is correctly described as cold and rainy at that time.
