Answer:
- Attacked by the school bully,
- Slipping on the wet sidewalk,
Explanation:
Dangling modifiers occur when the modifiers are far from the object they modify. As a result, the meaning of the sentence is confusing, obscure, ambiguous or senseless.
In the first sentence, it is unclear to deduce whether the backpack or Abner were attacked by the school bully. Thus, the right version could be:
<em>The backpack fell from Abner's shoulder when he was attacked by the school bully</em>.
In the third sentence, it is not precise to figure out whether Amaury or the keys were slipping on the wet sidewalk. As a result, the modifier should be placed closer to the modified object, as it stated in the second sentence:
<em>When Amaury slipped on the wet sidewalk, the keys fell from his pocket.</em>
Answer:
Sophia's life flashed before her eyes. "Jessica! Jessica help me up!" Sophia's fingers were sliping. If Jessica didn't help her out Sophia would fall to her doom.
"No way! You stole Daniel from me and now you must pay!" Jessica roared.
Sophia scream right back at her, "I did not! He is my best friend! That's all we are! Please- AHHH!!!" Sophia hung only by one hand. She had tears running down her face. All she had done was hug Daniel. 2 fingers left on the cliff and Jessica still didn't care. "Jessica help me! Please! I'll explain everything!"
Jessica looked at Sophia. She noticed how honest and weak she looked. She grabbed Sophia's arm and hauled her up. "Start speaking before I push you off this mountain."
"I've been friends with Daniel since I was 5. He is a brother to me. Jessica, I would NEVER love him any other way. Please, believe me. You can push me off now that you heard me." Sophia as trustworthy as ever stood there. Knowing that Jessica would push her off.
"Can you forgive me Sophia?"
"I'll always forgive you. No matter what you do."
"In that case..." Jessica pushed Sophia of the cliff.
It had been the most surprising thing that had ever happened to them, and probably ever would.
