is my answer correct
Right.
He spoke sharply to his sister
Yes, your answer is correct. The sentence that contains a correctly used modifier in italics is option A: "He spoke sharply to his sister."
To determine the correct answer, you need to identify the sentence in which the modifier is used properly. In this case, the modifier "sharply" is used to describe how he spoke, indicating that he spoke in a sharp or harsh manner. This usage is correct because the adverb "sharply" modifies the verb "spoke" and provides additional information about how the action was performed.
