Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phrase "expecting good news" modifies (describes) "the girl," so it needs to come right before it. Similarly, the adjective "ringing" modifies "phone", and needs to be placed next to the noun that it modifies.
All of the other options have misplaced modifiers, which means that the modifiers (descriptions or adjectives) are not placed next to the noun they are describing.
