MTLE Basic Skills Writing Sample Test

In which of the following sentences is the modifier placed correctly?

Correct Answer:
using his new binoculars, ron spied his uncle bud. 


in the given sentences, the only sentence where the modifier is placed correctly is: "using his new binoculars, ron spied his uncle bud." this sentence is correctly constructed because the introductory phrase "using his new binoculars" clearly modifies the subject of the main clause, which is "ron." it explicitly states that ron is the one using the new binoculars to spy on his uncle bud, leaving no ambiguity about who is using the binoculars.

now let's examine the other sentences to understand why their modifiers are misplaced: 1. "the cat was climbing the post without fear." - this sentence might suggest that it is the post that is without fear, which is illogical. a clearer way to phrase this would be "without fear, the cat was climbing the post," placing the modifier directly before the action it describes, clearly linking "without fear" to the cat's action of climbing. 2. "christina almost ate the whole pie." - this sentence is ambiguous because "almost" could modify either the verb "ate" or the phrase "the whole pie." it could mean that christina nearly decided to eat the pie but ultimately did not, or it could mean that christina ate nearly all of the pie. to clarify, one could rephrase it to either "christina nearly ate the whole pie" (indicating she ate much of it but not all) or "christina almost decided to eat the whole pie" (implying she considered eating it but chose not to). 3. "sal ate the whole pie resting on the step." - this sentence incorrectly suggests that it was the pie that was resting on the step, not sal. to correct the misplaced modifier, the sentence should be rephrased to: "resting on the step, sal ate the whole pie," clearly indicating that it was sal who was resting on the step.

in summary, the correct placement of modifiers is crucial for clear and unambiguous communication. in the correct sentence "using his new binoculars, ron spied his uncle bud," the modifier directly and logically applies to the subject, making the sentence's meaning clear. in contrast, the other sentences suffer from ambiguities and logical inconsistencies due to misplaced modifiers.
