Amisplaced a) is placed between two elements and could modify either b) always modifies a noun c) is placed to far away from the element it attempts to modify d) requires both a subject and a predicate

The correct answer is ( C)

A misplaced modifier is a word or group of words (example a clause) that is so separately from the antecedent, that it is difficult to understand the meaning of the sentences. This situation leads to a confusing and akward statement.  

The correct answer is C. Is placed to far away from the element it attempts to modify.

Explanation

Miplaced modifier is a term that refers to a word that is used in a sentence to modify the meaning of the sentence, however, due to its position (far away from the element it attempts to modify) it can confuse the reader's understanding of its meaning. An example of a misplaced modifier is "I smelled the beef coming up the stairs for lunch" because this sentence can generate a confusion in the reader who may assume that it is the beef is the one that come up the stairs, and not the one announcing the sentence. So, the correct answer is C. Is placed to far away from the element it attempts to modify.
