To identify a sentence with a misplaced modifier, we need to look for a sentence where the modifier is not placed correctly in relation to the word or phrase it is intended to modify. Let's analyze the given sentences:
1. "When looking out the window, they saw the first leaf fall." - This sentence does not have a misplaced modifier. The modifier "When looking out the window" correctly modifies the subject "they."
2. "On the way to the store, she saw a lost cat." - This sentence does not have a misplaced modifier. The modifier "On the way to the store" correctly modifies the verb phrase "she saw."
3. "The boy received a dog named Rover for his birthday." - This sentence has a misplaced modifier. The modifier "named Rover" is intended to modify the noun "dog," but it is placed after the noun, creating confusion and suggesting that the boy is named Rover. To correct this, the sentence can be rephrased to "For his birthday, the boy received a dog named Rover."
4. "They gave sandwiches to the children on paper plates." - This sentence does not have a misplaced modifier. The modifier "on paper plates" correctly modifies the direct object "sandwiches."
Therefore, the sentence with a misplaced modifier is: "The boy received a dog named Rover for his birthday."
