Answer:

misplaced or dangling modifier- a phrase or clause placed awkwardly in a sentence so that it appears to modify or refer to an unintended word.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sometimes a writer places the modifier too far away from the word it should describe.

Example:

Churning in the Atlantic Ocean, we anxiously watched the weather report for information about the hurricane.
