Answer:

1. Trying to decide what to eat for dinner, the grilled chicken looked delicious.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe sentence one has the dangling modifier because it is not specific enough, who is trying to decide what to eat for dinner?

All the other sentences are specific, and tell you who is deciding or doing the action except for sentence one.
