The answer is "Riding in a glass-bottomed boat, all kinds of exotic and beautiful fish could be seen." I got 100 on the unit test, so I got you.

The correct answer is C) "Riding in a glass-bottomed boat, all kinds of exotic and beautiful fish could be seen."

Dangling modifiers are mistakes in sentences since it is not clear who the target is. As the target word is not present, then the modifier does not have a word to modify.

In this case, the target is missing so we do not know who the doer of the action is (Who is riding the boat?).
