Zorluk: OrtaMisplaced and Dangling Modifiers

Complete the sentence by typing the correct logical subject from the choices in parentheses—'the chef' or 'the oven'—to resolve the dangling modifier.

Cevap:While preparing the delicate chocolate soufflé, 【the chef】 kept the oven door closed to prevent the dessert from collapsing.

Cevap

the chef
The introductory phrase 'While preparing the delicate chocolate soufflé' describes an action that must be performed by a person. The noun immediately following the comma must be the person performing this action. Therefore, 'the chef' is the correct logical subject.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the action in the introductory modifying phrase.
The phrase 'While preparing the delicate chocolate soufflé' describes the action of preparing a soufflé.
To correct a dangling modifier, the subject of the main clause must be the entity that logically performs this action.
2
Evaluate the choices to determine which can logically perform the action.
A chef can prepare a soufflé, but an oven cannot.
Placing 'the chef' as the subject directly after the comma ensures the modifier logically describes the subject.
