Q.145 Hard Sentence Correction
Identify and correct the sentence: Having completed the audit, the financial statements were submitted to the board for their review and approval.
A The sentence is correct as written
B Change 'were submitted' to 'are submitted' for consistency in tense
C Change 'Having completed the audit' to 'The auditors having completed the audit' to clarify the doer
D Change to: 'Having completed the audit, the auditors submitted the financial statements to the board for their review and approval'
Correct Answer:  D. Change to: 'Having completed the audit, the auditors submitted the financial statements to the board for their review and approval'
EXPLANATION

The correct answer is D because the original sentence contains a dangling modifier - the introductory phrase "Having completed the audit" does not clearly identify who performed the action, making it ambiguous. By changing the sentence to include "the auditors" as the subject, the modifier now correctly refers to the noun that immediately follows it, creating a clear and logical connection between the action and the doer. The original sentence incorrectly implies that the financial statements completed the audit, which is illogical and violates the basic rule that a dangling modifier must have a clear antecedent. Other options likely fail because they either leave the dangling modifier unresolved, create new grammatical errors, or make unnecessary changes that don't address the core problem of missing or unclear agency in the sentence.
