Question 4 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Which sentence shows the best placement for the modifier "in a taxi”?

Answer
A
He went to the museum where he viewed paintings in a taxi.
B
He went in a taxi to the museum where he viewed paintings.
C
He went to the museum in a taxi where he viewed paintings.
D
He went to the museum where in a taxi he viewed paintings.

Explanation

Place a modifier next to the words it describes. “In a taxi” describes how he went, so it should appear beside “went”: “He went in a taxi to the museum where he viewed paintings.” In A and C, the modifier is placed near the museum or the paintings and could seem to describe where those events happened.
