A

Answer 1

1 and 3 are correct.

None of the choices for 2 is correct.

Answer 2

The sentence for the second one should be, "I was in a hurry so I ate 'a cold bowl of cereal' as I was walking out the door. I don't know if that change makes a real difference, if it does.

But wouldn't it be a misplaced modifier, since it appears like the person ate a cold bowl as he walked out? I thought it should be "a bowl of cold cereal".

Answer 3

That's the only thing that makes sense, I guess. The other choices are certainly incorrect!!

Answer 4

Thank you!

Answer 5

You're very welcome!
