cross out choice because this sentence is a little confusing

00:34

kind of like the australian platypus What are they like

00:37

A beaver mixed with a duck You don't want to

00:39

ask how that happened all right The trouble here is

00:41

that the modifying phrase at our travel club meeting is

00:45

in the wrong place as is it looks like it's

00:48

describing the noun australia a proper one But the travel

00:52

club meeting wasn't in australia now was it If that

00:54

was the case everybody at the meeting would have travelled

00:57

there and nobody would be all that interested in perspective

01:00

So choice b makes the same mistake is the original

sense but tries to hide it with a comma it's

01:05

gonna take more than a comma to get this sense

01:07

back on track option c is a total train wreck

01:10

the phrase to australia is dangling at the end all

01:14

lost and alone far from the trip the noun it

01:17

modifies somehow we have to get these two lovebirds back

01:20

together Choice eh Saves the day trip and to australia

01:25

are back together and the modifying phrase at our travel
