Hi.
I am going to the show with my friend Kevin, who likes Elvis, the nicest person I know.
I came across an article on a website (here: https://magoosh.com/gmat/gmat-grammar-v ... nt-1816169) where this sentence was mentioned and the author said that this sentence is wrong because :
"Clearly, the modifier “the nicest person I know” is supposed to modify Kevin, but because its placement violates the Modifier Touch Rule, it creates a grammatically unacceptable sentence that would always be wrong on GMAT SC."
Can you please explain why are we assuming that this sentence is supposed to modify Kevin? Can't it modify Elvis, in which case the sentence would be correct?
Would highly appreciate it if you can address the query. Thanks a ton.
