Explanation: A misplaced modifier is a modifier that has been incorrectly separated from the word or phrase that it is modifying. Therefore, a sentence with a misplaced modifier lacks sense. In the sentence provided, "When an old woman" is a misplaced modifier since it is incorrectly modifying the noun phrase "the boy". Furthermore, "When an old woman" has been separated from the phrase that should actually be modifying: "Mrs. Jones". In that way, the sentence lacks sense and sounds illogical.
