Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phrase "cut fresh from the garden" is a modifier that describes the flowers. In the original sentence, it is in the wrong placement as it is separating the subject "flowers" and the verb "decorated." Choice A correctly places the modifier at the beginning of the sentence, which makes it clear that the flowers were cut fresh from the garden.
