Answer 1

Answer:Spouting plumes of water through their trunks, Maria and Marco giggled at the elephants.

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is modifying a word that is not having a clear place in the sentence. It can be a word or phrase and with it, we can see a description of a concept and more details that could help when it comes to understatement of the sentences.

In this case, dangling modifier is ''Spouting plumes of water through their trunks, Maria and Marco giggled at the elephants.''

• After the comma, we can see who giggled and at what which is clearly describing the concept.
