Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A modifier describes or qualifies another part of a sentence. A dangling modifier occurs when the intended subject of the modifier is missing from the sentence, and instead, another subject appears in its place.

Dangling modifiers often take the form of an introductory phrase that is connected to the wrong thing.
