The sentence "We saw a baby elephant vacationing in Africa" is correct.
To determine if the sentence contains a misplaced modifier or dangling modifier, we need to analyze the sentence structure and the placement of modifiers.
In the given sentence, "We saw a baby elephant vacationing in Africa," there is no misplaced modifier or dangling modifier.
A misplaced modifier occurs when a word or phrase is placed too far away from the word it is intended to modify, causing confusion or ambiguity. In this sentence, all the modifiers, including "baby" and "vacationing in Africa," are appropriately placed. They clearly describe the noun "elephant."
A dangling modifier, on the other hand, occurs when the modifier lacks a clear subject to modify. This results in a sentence that is grammatically incorrect or nonsensical. However, in this sentence, there is a clear subject ("We") and the modifiers are not dangling.
Therefore, the correct answer is "correct" since the sentence does not contain a misplaced modifier or dangling modifier.
