Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A.) having read your letter, my German Shepherd will stay inside after dark.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word that can't really be identified in the sentence. It is very unclear who has read the letter, and surely it wasn't the dog. So who read it? And how does it connect with the dog staying inside?
