MGMAT-700 level- modifier- experts help

by vkb16 » Wed Oct 14, 2009 1:40 am
the correct sentence is

Rather than accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, Christopher Columbus sailed west to see whether he could reach India, having been sent by the king and queen of Spain.

My question is, doesnt the clause '' having been sent by....'' incorrectly modify India??

experts please help!
