I found my friend's orange book.

Answer 1

The sentence that contains a misplaced modifier is:

"We will hopefully see a whale on our sailing trip."

The placement of "hopefully" can imply that the whale itself will be hopeful, rather than conveying that the people will be hopeful about seeing a whale. A clearer way to phrase it could be: "Hopefully, we will see a whale on our sailing trip."
