    Exit Ticket

    Activity (A)
    Rewrite the following paragraph correcting all the misplaced and dangling modifiers.
    I bought a fresh loaf of bread for my sandwich shopping in the grocery store. Wanting to make a delicious
    sandwich, the mayonnaise was thickly spread. Placing the cold cuts on the bread, the lettuce was placed
    on top. I cut the sandwich in half with a knife turning on the radio. Biting into the sandwich, my favorite
    song blared loudly in my ears. Humming and chewing, my sandwich went down smoothly. Smiling, my
    sandwich will be made again, but next time I will add cheese.
