Draft 1 Problem/Solution

We look at drafts and discuss problems.

Misplaced modifiers, too?  Do the first 15 of these sentences.  In your daybook, copy down the misplaced or dangling modifier if there is one, or put OK if there is none.  You'll need to click on "Get an explanation" after each answer in order to do this.
