Question 102393 • PARTA - EVP: PGCPS ENGLISH 12 OC (FALL2026) 791113
A participial phrase should be placed next to the noun it describes. In “Peeling off her winter jacket, Sierra settled into the cozy armchair,” the phrase “Peeling off her winter jacket” clearly describes Sierra, the person doing the action. In the other sentences, the phrases are placed so they seem to describe the wrong noun or are separated from the person they describe.
