The sentence that uses a modifier correctly is "Soft and calming, the harp provided a peaceful serenade to the audience," in option B, as explained below.

What is a modifier?

A modifier is a word or phrase in a sentence that modifies another word by providing more information about it. In the sentences provided as answer choices in the question, the modifier is the same - "soft and calming."

Usually, the modifier comes right before or right after the word it modifies. That is why some of the sentence provided are incorrect. The modifier "soft and calm" does not apply to all words that follow it:

  • Audience - It does not make sense to say that the audience was soft and calming as they enjoyed the harp. We can eliminate option A.
  • Harp - This is the best option. It makes sense to say that the harp was soft and calming as it provided the serenade. Option B is the correct one.
  • Sight - This one could make sense, but the problem is the use of "sight" rather than "sound". Harps do not necessarily look soft and calming. We can eliminate option C.
  • Ears - Again, it does not make sense to say the ears were soft and calming. We can eliminate option D as well.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer to this question.
