Dear teacher,
Nineteen northern snakehead fish, widely feared interlopers, were caught this summer in a 13-mile stretch of the Potomac River where it widens below the nation's capital on its way to the Chesapeake Bay. But the final and smallest catch was particularly disheartening.
Q : I think "on its way to the Chesapeake Bay" modifies "the nation's capital", doesn't it?
All the best,
A modification
