Which sentence contains a dangling modifier?

English
1 answer:
Alex_Xolod [135]4 years ago
8 0
The sentence that contains the dangling modifier is this: IN A RUSH, THE SLOW TRAFFIC WAS GRATING ON MY NERVES.
A dangling modifier refers to an ambiguous grammatical expression, that is constructed in such a way that, it makes it very easy for the grammatical modifier in the sentence to be associated with the wrong word or with no word at all. 
Sentences with dangling modifiers should be re-written in such a way that it will be very easy to recognize the word that  the modifier is modifying.
In the statement given in option A, it can be seen that it is very difficult to know who or what the rush is referring to; we can not say for sure may be it is the writer that is in a rush or may it is the slow traffic that is grating her nerves in a rushing manner.<span />

Rainbow [258]
A. Somewhat. The sentence still makes sense without it, and it doesn't matter how skeptical she is since she's still doing research either way, so it can be cut out.

Read the sentence.
RoseWind [281]
'TO THE FRONT DOOR' is the underlined word. The correct option is B.
A prepositional phrase is a group of words which does not have either a subject or a verb and it serves as a unified part of a sentence. It is usually made up of a preposition and a noun or pronoun. There are two types of prepositional phase, adjectival and adverb prepositional phrase. The adjectival prepositional phrase modifies noun or pronoun while adverb prepositional phrase modifies verbs, adjectives or adverbs.
In the sentence given in this question, the underlined prepositional phrase modifies the verb 'dashed', thus, it is an adverbial prepositional phrase.<span />
