Problem 5 - Entrance Test

Choose the sentence that corrects the misplaced modifier in: 'He bought a used car from a dealer with a faulty engine.'

Correct: A

The phrase 'with a faulty engine' is intended to modify 'car'. In the original sentence, it incorrectly appears to modify 'dealer'. Option A correctly places the modifier next to the word it describes, 'car'.
