Question

What is the glistening in the sun

Answer 1

Answer:

The wet rocks, glistening in the sun, attracted Maria's attention."

Hello. The above sentence is taken from a chapter of a book dealing with the use of participal phrases. What I want to ask about is the ambiguity that I think occurs in the meaning. In my view, there are two possible interpretations of the sentence.

1) "The wet rocks, which are glistening in the sun, attracted Maria's attention."

2) "While glistening in the sun, the wet rocks attracted Maria's attention."

hope it helps ⬆️⬆️☺❤☺❤
