Question 10 • Common Core ELA 10 A - Aberdeen
The opening phrase “Noticing that it had been turned over by the storm” must describe the person who noticed it. In choice C, Anton is the subject of the main clause, so the modifier clearly describes him: Anton noticed the overturned table and flipped it back on its feet. In the other choices, the phrase is attached to the patio table or is awkwardly detached from the person who noticed it.
