Veritas Prep Official Explanation
(A) The sentence as written has a misplaced modifier – whenever a sentence begins with a participial phrase, in this case “Performing in front of a crowd for the first time,’ the modified subject should come immediately after the comma. Here, it sounds as though ‘Mike’s voice’ is performing in front of a crowd
(B) Correct. The participial phrase ‘performing in front of a crowd for the first time’ correctly modifies Mike.
(C) Again, it sounds as though Mike’s voice is performing in front of a crowd for the first time.
(D) Here it sounds as though ‘the screeching din’ is performing, which is nonsensical.
(E) The phrase “Mike had a voice that was audibly above’ is wordy and awkward. Additionally, “Mike had a voice” is illogical; he still has the same voice, so a past tense “had” doesn’t quite make logical sense.
