Free TABE 11 and 12 Exam Questions That Helps Candidates Pass

A modifier should be placed next to the word it logically describes. “Walking down the street” describes the person, not the backpack. Option C corrects the misplaced modifier by supplying the logical subject “I” immediately after the introductory participial phrase: “Walking down the street, I felt…” Option A absurdly suggests the backpack is walking; Option B uses the vague pronoun “it,” still leaving ambiguity about who is walking; Option D leaves the modifier trailing, which is awkward and still potentially ambiguous. On TABE, when you see an introductory phrase, ask who or what is performing that action; ensure the next noun in the sentence matches the doer. This fixes dangling and misplaced modifiers, improving sentence clarity and precision—key objectives in the Language domain’s revision and editing tasks.

“Each” is singular, so the verb must be singular: “has.” Option B is correct. Option A incorrectly uses plural “have.” Option C is a fragment. Option D misuses singular “player.” TABE emphasizes tricky singular-indefinite pronouns like each, everyone, anyone, which always require singular verbs.
