Question 1 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Which sentence shows the best placement for the modifier “on the ice”?

Answer
A
After dinner on the ice, we all went skating.
B
We all went on the ice after dinner skating.
C
We all went skating after dinner on the ice.
D
After dinner, we all went skating on the ice.

Explanation

The modifier “on the ice” should be placed next to the activity it describes: skating. In “After dinner, we all went skating on the ice,” the phrase clearly tells where the skating took place. The other choices place “on the ice” where it could seem to describe dinner or make the sentence awkward.
