Answer

The answer is:

  • The Great Dane that Don bought from a neighbor was too big for the doghouse.
  • After an hour's search, she found the money hidden under the rug.
  • She found, after an hour's search, the money hidden under the rug.
  • The cook served a delicious ham marinated in mustard sauce.
  • The cook served a delicious ham that was marinated in mustard sauce.
Explanation
Sentence 1:
  • Don bought a Great Dane from a neighbor that was too big for the doghouse.
    • This sentence contains a misplaced modifier. It suggests that the neighbor was too big for the doghouse, not the Great Dane.
  • The Great Dane that Don bought from a neighbor was too big for the doghouse.
    • This sentence is correct. The modifier "that Don bought from a neighbor" correctly describes the Great Dane.
  • Don bought a Great Dane that was too big for the doghouse from a neighbor.
    • This sentence is awkward and could be misinterpreted. It suggests that the doghouse was from a neighbor, not the Great Dane.
Sentence 2:
  • After an hour's search, she found the money hidden under the rug.
    • This sentence is correct. The modifier "After an hour's search" correctly describes when she found the money.
  • She found, after an hour's search, the money hidden under the rug.
    • This sentence is also correct. The modifier "after an hour's search" is correctly placed within the sentence.
  • She found the money hidden under the rug after an hour's search.
    • This sentence is incorrect. It suggests that the money was hidden under the rug after an hour's search, which is not the intended meaning.
Sentence 3:
  • Marinated in mustard sauce, the cook served a delicious ham.
    • This sentence contains a dangling modifier. It suggests that the cook was marinated in mustard sauce, not the ham.
  • The cook served a delicious ham marinated in mustard sauce.
    • This sentence is correct. The modifier "marinated in mustard sauce" correctly describes the ham.
  • The cook served a delicious ham that was marinated in mustard sauce.
    • This sentence is also correct. The modifier "that was marinated in mustard sauce" correctly describes the ham.
