Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?

a. it was the shadow of the tree branch that scared my sister
b. the dog that luca adopted has one blue eye and black and white fur
c. dad bought potato salad at the market that is made with pickle relish
d. it was a cat that made a strange sound on the fence

The correct answer is option C.dad bought potato salad at the market that is made with pickle relish.

Explanation:

A modifier is that word we use to expand the information of another word, or to describe it.

The types of modifiers that exist can be a word, a phrase or a clause.

On the other hand, a misplaced modifier is erroneously located with respect to the word you are modifying or describing.

If we analyze the example:

Dad bought potato salad at the market that is made with pickle relish.

The modifier in this case is the word "that".

It is wrongly located, since by reading it we can interpret what is made with pickle relish is the market, and not the potato salad.

Given this information we can say that the correct option is option C.

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
