Identify the sentence with a misplaced modifier.

A. Covered in mud, the dog ran through the house.B. The dog, covered in mud, ran through the house.C. The dog ran through the house covered in mud.D. The house was covered in mud.

A misplaced modifier is a phrase or word that is placed too far from the word it modifies, making the sentence awkward or confusing. In the first sentence, it sounds like the house is covered in mud, not the dog.
