Question

Select the misplaced modifier in the paragraph.

I had plans to go to the water park every day during summer vacation, but that didn’t quite work out. I imagined myself sitting by the pool and enjoying the sun. In reality, the pool was so crowded that I could not see the pool in my lawn chair. After that, I decided to go to the lake instead.

Answer 1

"In reality, the pool was so crowded that I could not see the pool in my lawn chair." should be "In reality, the pool was so crowded that I could not see the water from my lawn chair." or something similar.

Answer 2

Answer: in my lawn chair.

Explanation: a misplaced modifier, is a modifier in a sentence or in a paragraph that is placed in a position that might produce some kind of misunderstanding or just make the sentence to be unclear. In the given paragraph the misplaced modifier is "In my lawn chair" because in the sentence "I could not see the pool in my lawn chair" it seems that the pool is in the lawn chair, one way to correct this sentence would be "From my lawn chair, I could not see the pool."
