I disagree.
Did you ever figure this out?
no I didn't :(
Who is getting out of the car?
Shouldn't that phrase begin the sentence?
The misplaced part in this sentence is "getting out of the car".
To determine this, we need to identify what the subject of the sentence is and what action it is performing. In this case, the subject is "The nurse" and the action is "put the manual into a large blue tote bag".
However, the phrase "getting out of the car" is describing how the nurse put the manual into the bag, which doesn't fit logically in this sentence structure. It seems like a separate action or detail that should be expressed in a separate sentence or rephrased to flow better within the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) getting out of the car.
