Question

Which sentence contains a dangling modifier?

Answer 1

The sentence that contains a dangling modifier is B.Born in Germany, America became John Augustus Roebling's Home in 1831. Dangling modifiers are modifiers that are not clear about what they modify. In this case, the placement of the modifier 'born in Germany', makes it unclear who was born in Germany. Thus, the modifier, 'born in Germany', must be placed near the noun it modifies which is John Augustus Roebling.  

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

Born in Germany, America became John Augustus Roebling's home in 1831.
