Answer 1

The option that correctly expresses the word usage in the sentence is provided below. It is;

• A. It has a dangling modifier.

A dangling modifier is a word or group of words that describe a noun that was not intended.

In the sentence provided, the dangling modifier is the phrase, "Being a disaster." This phrase incorrectly describes the noun, John instead of the event that was a disaster which is, the flood.

There is a misplacement of the correct noun which is to be modified in the sentence.

Because the noun, John came immediately after the modifying phrase, a reader can misunderstand the sentence to mean that John, instead of the flood was a disaster.
