<p>When we were cleaning the garage,my sister and I found the olf soccer ball in a dark corner we used to play with when we were young.</p>
<p>A.the old soccer ball in a dark corner we used to play with when we were young.
B.in a dark corner from when we were young the old soccer ball we played with.
C.in a dark corner the old soccer ball we used to play with when we were young.
D.the old soccer ball in a dark corner,we used to play with when we were young
E. the old soccer ball,having played with it when we were young, in a dark corner.</p>
<p>I picked A. The right answer is C. Why?</p>
<p>maybe because its ambiguous on what the play with is going on in A</p>
<p>In (A), “we used to play with” after “a dark corner” implies that “my sister and I” used to play with “a dark corner” rather than the “old soccer ball”. Like the above poster said, it is not clear in (A) what “my sister and I” are playing with. (C) correctly defines who is playing with what; and most clearly expresses the sentence.</p>
<p>so basically it refers to the closest noun?</p>
<p>The focal problem with the sentence is the misplaced adjective clause’ we used to play with when we were young’.In the original sentence it modifies 'corner whereas it should modify ‘ball’</p>
<p>I agree with arooj1a2b3c, the answer choice a sounds like the dark corner refers to the place you were playing in and not the place where the ball was found. </p>
