OK i got it the answer is D...

Answer 1

the answer would be A

Answer 2

The rewrite of the sentence that corrects the dangling modifier is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. For instance, in A it is not clearly understood who is coming around the bend too quickly.

The dangling modifier is fixed by naming the appropriate or logical doer of the action as the subject of the main clause, such as in D. In D the participle is immediately followed by the NP "Jim", which is the doer of the action, the one coming around the turn too quickly. Therefore, it is understood that the participle phrase is modifying said noun.
