The following sentence has a misplaced modifier. Players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend regularly practices to play on the varsity team. Which revision corrects the error in this sentence?
Answer
A
Players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices to play regularly on the varsity team.
B
Regularly, players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices to play on the varsity team.
C
Players must regularly maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices to play on the varsity team.
D
Players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices regularly to play on the varsity team.
Explanation
The adverb “regularly” should describe how often players attend practices, so it belongs next to “attend practices.” Choice D places it there: “attend practices regularly.” In choice A, “regularly” instead modifies “play,” and choices B and C place it so that it does not clearly describe attending practices.
