Answer: "by the acrobats"

Step-by-step explanation:

A dangling modifier simply means a word or a phrase that's used in modifying a word that's not stated clearly in the sentence. The modifier describes, and provides more detail about a concept.

In this case, the part of the sentence that is a dangling modifier is "by the acrobats". This helps in describing and telling us the reason why the children were delighted.
