  4. D

Cevap

Exhausted after the long shift, the chef quickly prepared a hot meal.
The introductory modifier 'Exhausted after the long shift' describes a state of fatigue experienced by a person. Placing 'the chef' immediately after the comma establishes a clear and grammatically correct connection between the modifier and the subject.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the modifier and determine what noun it logically describes.
The introductory phrase 'Exhausted after the long shift' describes a person who experiences fatigue (the chef).
An introductory modifier must clearly describe the subject that immediately follows it.
2
Examine the main clause subject in each option.
Only the sentence placing 'the chef' directly after the comma connects the modifier to the correct subject.
Placing inanimate nouns like 'a hot meal', 'the kitchen', or 'a brief rest' after the comma creates dangling modifiers.
