Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence is most improved by fixing the misplaced modifier. As written, the initial modifier could be read as describing Amanda rather than her necklace. In this reading, Amanda was inside of her jewelry box when she found her necklace. In order to avoid this reading, the sentence should be rewritten as, "Amanda found the necklace she'd been missing hidden in the back corner of her jewelry box."
