In the following sentence, identify the misplaced modifier and why it does not work. The principal nearly spoke for forty-five minutes about the new bus routes before the school board tiredly voted against the motion.

1. before the school board tiredly voted against the motion, because it should appear at the beginning of the sentence

2. tiredly, because it should appear after the word motion

3. new, because it weakly modifies the word routes

4. nearly, because it should appear before the words forty-five minutes

idk

explanation:

this like a whole essay

the correct answer is option d. none of these. it is noted that options a, b, and c share the same content.

despite the valid answer provided at the last sentence of each of the options, a question/answer format shouldn't include humourous themed responses such as "you bet your thermal pj's we do." - unless of course, the answer is carried out in an informal environment. this could be replaced with a simple "yes" or "it is necessary".

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
