Modifiers are words or phrases that clearly define or describe what is being talked about in the sentence. On the other hand, a misplaced or dangling modifier is a word or phrase that does not clearly say describes what is being meant because the words used in the sentence are not in order. Of the following choices, the sentence that contains a misplaced or dangling modifier is B. Finished with our lunch, the thought if dessert did not enter our minds.
