Which is correct? Blu-ray is a video and computer optical disk format __________________________. a. being promoted by most of the industry’s leading companies that uses a blue laser. b. that uses a blue laser and is being promoted by the industry’s leading companies. |
Answer: B
The error in the first choice is an example of a misplaced modifier: Because the phrase “that uses a blue laser” follows “most of the industries leading companies,” it indicates that the companies use a blue laser.
