C.)Excited and a little scared, the adventure was just beginning,
D.)The wind whipping through his hair, the convertible handled every curve with ease.

Answer 1

The sentence among the options that correctly uses modifiers is "Narrow and winding, the coast highway led Jonah east towards the rising sun." (option B)

Using a modifier

Modifiers are words or phrases that modify another element in a sentence, giving us more information about it. Modifiers, when placed far away from the element they refer to, can cause confusion. Thus, we should always put them as close as possible to the element.

That is why option B is the correct answer. It is the only one in which the modifier is actually close to the element it refers to. "Narrow and winding" are characteristics of the "highway", which comes immediately afterward. Notice that if "Jonah" had been used afterward, as the subject of the sentence, the modifier would have been wrong.
