Having spent three hours in traffic to get to the trendy, new restaurant, John intended to stay for awhile.

Remove the comma after restaurant.
Remove the word for.
Remove the comma after trendy.
Fix the misplaced modifier.

Answer: B - The sentence is most improved by removing the word for. Awhile, as one word, means for a short time, so the word for is redundant. You could also leave the word for but break awhile into two words, a while. Either solution works.
