Choose the grammatically correct sentence.
Answer: B
Correct answer: It is a pleasure to see an alligator as long as 90 feet basking in the sunshine on a river bank.
As long as 90 feet describes the alligator, so it must sit next to alligator. Wherever else it goes it attaches to the nearest noun and says something absurd - a 90-foot sunshine, a 90-foot river bank.
Why the others fail:
- It is pleasure - the article is missing; the idiom is it is a pleasure. The measure is also stranded at the end, where it modifies river bank.
- Placing the phrase after sunshine makes the sunshine ninety feet long.
- Placing it after basking makes it modify the verb, which is meaningless.
