Identify the dangling or misplaced modifier in the following sentence, “we saw a graceful
willow tree strolling around the lake.”
we saw
saw a graceful
willow tree
strolling around the lake

The correct answer is D. strolling around the lake

Explanation:

A modifier refers to a word or set of words that modify or describe a noun, for example, a person, object, place, etc. Additionally, a dangling or misplaced modifier occurs as the noun modified is not clear because the modifier is not placed beside it which causes the modifier to be dangling or misplaced and makes sentence unclear.

In the case of the sentence, "We saw a graceful willow tree strolling around the lake" the dangling or misplaced modifier is "strolling around the lake" because these words have been separated from the noun they modify which is "we" and this leads to an unclear sentence as it is suggested the willow tree was the one strolling and this makes no sense.

in general, fiction refers to plot, settings, and characters created from the imagination, while nonfiction refers to factual stories focused on actual events and people. however, the difference between these two genres is sometimes blurred, as the two often intersect.
