Answer 1

Hello! :)
Alright so by reading this sentence we can get the answer, simple right? Yes! :D
I was able to conclude the answer was A, A dangling Modifier.
A dangling modifier is a phrase or a clause which says something different from what its meant to be read as, because words are left out.
Does this help you any? :)
