The answer is: dangling modifier.

Dangling modifiers are separate from the word they modify, resulting in ambiguity, confusion or nonsense. In the example sentence, it is not clear which animal is walking the wire - whether the dog or the squirrel. Supposing the squirrel (which is about to fall) is walking the wire, a correct version of the sentence would be:

My dog waited for the squirrel to fall, which was walking the wire.

5.Mrs. Stevenson cannot be heard by the other callers, and she slowly realizes that she is hearing something she obviously was n
Evgesh-ka [11]

This question is about "Sorry, wrong number"

Answer:

The part of the text that makes it clear that you called Mrs. Stevenson is planning a crime is written in the line "she is hearing something she obviously was not intended to hear". That sentence is also capable of creating suspense about what Mrs. Stevenson is going to do with that information and whether the crime is really going to happen. This attracts the reader.

Explanation:

Mrs. Stevenson overhears a call that is reporting a murder plan. When she hears this, she realizes that she is in the middle of planning a crime and needs to do something about it, but even if she wants to tell someone, no one answers when she calls and when they do, she doesn't believe her narrative and they don't do anything about it. .

This creates a strong suspense tone and a claustrophobic feeling as the reader is apprehensive about what can happen and how it will happen.
