Answer. The final sentence:
_____________________________________
"The salesperson handed a receipt to each customer that was very long. "
________________________________________________________
→ is the sentence that contains a misplaced modifier.
_____________________________________________________
→ Specifically, the placement of the phrase: "that was very long".
______________________________________________________
This is a misplaced modifier, because it is difficult to determine if "very long" modifies either: 1) the actual "receipt" ; or, 2) the "customer(s)" —specifically, "each customer [that happened to be 'very long"].
