This question is taken from MGMAT Sentence Correction book.
a)She is the most dedicated gardener on the block, every day watering the more than 50 plants in her yard.
b)She is the most dedicated gardener on the block,every day watering more than the 50 plants in her yard
C) Neither is correct.
The answer is A. I feel weird putting 'everyday' right after the comma mark. I was thinking something along the lines of :
She is the most dedicated gardener on the block, watering the more than 50 plants in her yard everyday.
I want to know if there is something wrong with how I am thinking. In such sentences I thought that what we use after the comma should relate to the subject directly.

As per my understanding. "every day" is modifying the "watering". So kept close.

A and B both are correct with completely different meanings.
A means She watered more than 50 plants (say 60 plants)
B means she watered something else other than the 50 plants.. your answer should be best choice based on the question.
