Swing through the air

I know

Answer 2

"Swinging in the air" is a dangling modifier in this sentence since it modifies the part of the sentence "by the acrobats" but it is ambiguous or not clear because it may also modify "the children". A dangling modifier is a grammatical contruction that can be misinterpreted because of the way it was written and it can also lead to misunderstanding of a sentence or idea.
