Which sentence has a misplaced adjective phrase?
A. My cousin from Arkansas is coming to visit later this month.
B. Those plants grow in special soil with purple leaves.
C. The stew in the pot needs some more seasoning.
D. The movie about race cars thrilled me.
Answer (2)
b- I don't know of any soil that has purple leaves.
It should read: Those plants with purple leaves grow in special soil.
The sentence with the misplaced adjective phrase is B: 'Those plants grow in special soil with purple leaves.' This implies the soil has purple leaves rather than the plants. A clearer revision would be: 'Those plants with purple leaves grow in special soil.'
