Question

Which sentence has a misplaced adjective phrase?

A.

B.
My grandfather was a man of few words.

C.
The butter in the refrigerator needs to soften first.

D.
Darlene wrote a note to her best friend on paper.

Answer 1

Answer: D. Darlene wrote a note to her best friend on paper.

The correct sentence should have been stated this way:
Darlene wrote a note on paper to her best friend .

The phrase "a note on paper" modifies the verb "wrote", therefore should follow right after the word it modifies.
