The confusion in the student's sentence arises from the misplaced modifier "that was late." This modifier incorrectly suggests that it is the teacher who is late, rather than the project itself. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**It seems like the teacher is the one who is late.**
To clarify the sentence, it could be rewritten as "Keiko handed her late castle project to her teacher," making it clear that the project is late, not the teacher.
