Discussion
Some of these novels were written (A) by men (B) who are now dead (C) for their own amusement. (D)
Answer: D
The correct order is ADBC: Some of these novels were written for their own amusement by men who are now dead.
As printed, the sentence suggests the men are dead for their own amusement. Moving for their own amusement (D) next to were written (A) attaches it to the writing, and by men who are now dead (B then C) follows, with the relative clause right after the noun men it describes.
ABCD keeps the misplaced modifier. ADCB separates who are now dead from men, and CBDA begins with a relative clause.
