Misplaced Modifiers

MCQ - 354-4633

Question:

His manner of speech was like exactly his grandfather's.

His manner in speech was like exactly his grandfather's.
His manner of speech was like exactly that of his grandfather's.
His manner of speech was exactly like his grandfather's.
His manner of speech was like exactly that of his grandfather's.
His manner of speech was like exactly his grandfather's.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The placement of "exactly" in the sentence is confusing, as placing it after "like" makes it seem as though the manner was almost exactly or kind of exactly. By placing "exactly" after "was," the comparison between the two manners of speech is more clear, making the correct answer "His manner of speech was exactly like his grandfather's."
