Asked by betty

Is this a good use of a modifier? Startled by the noise, the alarm clock was knocked on the floor.
Answered by Ms. Sue
No.

The only modifier in this sentence is the participial phrase, "startled by the noise." However -- what does it modify? Was the alarm clock startled by the noise?? I don't think so.
