Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Only Jamila said she was tired.
Concept: Modifier Placement.

Solution: The limiting modifier 'only' modifies the word that immediately follows it. Placing it before 'Jamila' specifies that no person other than Jamila made the statement.

Why other options are incorrect:
  • Option B: Modifies 'said', meaning she did nothing else except say it.

  • Option C: Modifies 'she', meaning she was the only one who was tired.

  • Option D: Modifies 'tired', meaning she was nothing else besides tired.
