Misplaced Modifiers

MCQ - 639-4918

Question:

Waiting for the crucial trial to begin, the anxiety Nabeel felt was almost overwhelming.

the anxiety almost overwhelmed Nabeel.
the anxiety Nabeel felt was almost overwhelming.
the anxiety being felt by Nabeel was almost overwhelming.
the anxiety Nabeel felt was almost overwhelming.
Nabeel's anxiety felt almost overwhelming.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

When a sentence begins with a dangling participle or descriptive phrase, the person or thing described in that phrase (in this case, "Nabeel") must immediately follow it. Only one answer choice does this correctly. The answer choice that begins "Nabeel's anxiety" may appear to do so, but it does not, because the possessive "Nabeel's" is no longer the subject, but is describing the anxiety.
