Question 6 • PARTA - EVP: PGCPS ENGLISH 12 OC (FALL2026) 791113
“Materializing from the mist” is a participial phrase, and it should describe the noun that follows it. As written, it seems to describe “the alarm,” but the alarm is not what emerged from the mist; the ship did. The sentence places the participial phrase in the wrong place. A clearer version is: “Materializing from the mist, the ship heard the alarm warn it to steer quickly to the right of the rocks.”
