Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct and logically coherent?
A. Having completed the project, the team submitted their final report to the manager.
B. The project, after having been completed, the team submitted their final report to the manager.
C. The team submitted their final report to the manager after having completed the project.
D. Completed the project, the team submitted their final report to the manager.
Correct: C
C is correct. 'Having completed the project' is a present perfect participle phrase that must modify 'the team' to avoid a dangling modifier. Option A is incorrect because the phrase 'Having completed the project' has no subject to modify, leaving the sentence with a misplaced modifier. Option B disrupts the logical sequence by placing a participial phrase incorrectly after an independent clause. Option D fails due to an introductory participial phrase lacking a subject, making the team the logical subject of 'completed,' which is impossible for a non-active role. The correct structure is to directly link the agent (the team) to the action (submitting) with a logical sequence of events.
