Explanation/Calculation: It doesn't matter what the modifier is or is modifying, they can be near or far away from the word that is being modified. For example,

"Tiny snakes are sometimes quite dangerous."

"Dangerous" is a adjective (modifier) modifying "snakes." "Dangerous" is several words away from the word that is being modified (snakes.) Thus, modifiers do not have to be placed close to the words they modify.

Explanation:

A modifier is a word, phrase structure or clause structure which modifies the structure of the other elements present in the sentence. A modifier is especially an adjective or noun. In case if the modifier is removed from the sentence, it does not affect the grammatical structure of the sentence to a great extent.
