    The correct answer is a) The group members who were working on the project together met on Saturday. In grammar, a modifier is an optional element in phrase structure or clause structure. A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies/describes. Due to this separation, sentences seem sound awkward, ridiculous, or confusing.
