Choose the grammatically correct sentence.
Answer: A
Correct answer: Our friends left in an imported car the hill station where they had been staying for quite some time.
In an imported car tells us how they left, so it stays with left, and where they had been staying stays with hill station. Both modifiers touch what they modify.
Why the others fail:
- Putting the car between hill station and where makes it look as though they had been staying in the car.
- Putting the car at the very end does the same thing more strongly.
- Our friends in an imported car left… - this describes the friends rather than the leaving, as though they were friends who live in a car.
