The underlined prepositional phrase "with the expensive equipment" is misplaced. It creates ambiguity regarding what it modifies. As it stands, it suggests that the baboons have the expensive equipment, which is likely not the intended meaning. A more precise placement could clarify the intended meaning, such as: "The photographer with the expensive equipment pointed his camera at the baboons." This revision indicates that it is the photographer who has the expensive equipment.
Identify the underlined prepositional phrase as correct or misplaced.
The photographer pointed his camera at the baboons with the expensive equipment. With the underlined part being "With the expensive equipment"
