This sentence contains a dangling modifier: With a sigh of disappointment, the torn jacket was returned to the rack.

A dangling modifier is defined as a word or phrase that modifies a word that is not clearly stated in the sentence.

The dangling modifier in the given sentence is WITH A SIGH OF DISAPPOINTMENT. The sentence does not state who sighed in disappointed.
