Explanation:

A misplaced modifier is a word or a phrase that is positioned incorrectly in a sentence, changing its meaning. If we change its position and put it right next to the word it refers to, the problem is corrected and the sentence makes perfect sense. In the example below, we've misplaced an adjective:

- She ordered a hot dish of soup.

Because of where it is place, the adjective "hot" seems to modify the word dish. However, the intention is to say that the soup was hot, not the dish itself. Therefore, we must change the adjective's position to correct the sentence:

- She ordered a dish of hot soup.
