Hey there!

Let's start out with one thing at a time.

The word modifier means when a adjective or even a noun make's it impossible to add a sense or even a head of subject.

So, in the sentence above, this would be known as a (misplaced) and not a dangling modifier because it is clear that the sentence used the phrase
"three fire flying" which in this case would be known as a modifier.

Your correct answer would be . . . .


\boxed{\boxed{misplaced \ because \ it \ stop's \ from \ adding \ heading}}

Hope this helps.
