A student wrote the following sentence.Keiko handed her castle project to her teacher that was late.How does the misplaced modifier cause confusion in the student’s sentence?

The phrase “that was late” is placed right after “her teacher,” so it seems to describe the teacher. This makes the sentence sound as though the teacher was late, rather than Keiko’s castle project being late. The correct choice is “It seems like the teacher is the one who is late.”
