The nurse, who was late for work, put the manual into a large blue tote bag getting out of the car.
Which of the following is misplaced in the sentence above?
A. put the manual
B. who was late for work
C. getting out of the car
D. into a large blue tote bag
My answer is A. Because I think that she needed to get out of the car before she put her manual down.
Is the bag or the nurse getting out of the car?
Hi Ms. Sue I don't know because the question itself is confusing
So I think the correct sentence should be:
The nurse, who was late for work, getting out of the car put the manual into a large blue tote bag.
I don't know if it's correct or not. Which part of the sentence is misplaced?
I got it!
It should be:
Getting out of the car, the nurse who was late for work, put the manual into a large blue tote bag.
Yay! You're right.
my answer will be D
Your analysis is correct. The misplaced element in the sentence is "put the manual."
To identify the misplaced element, let's break down the sentence and identify the logical order of actions:
1. The nurse, who was late for work,
2. got out of the car.
3. put the manual
4. into a large blue tote bag.
Based on the logical order of actions, the correct sequence would be that the nurse got out of the car before putting the manual into the tote bag. However, in the given sentence, "put the manual" is placed before "getting out of the car," which is out of order and makes it the misplaced element.
So, your answer of A. "put the manual" is correct.
