Answer 1

Answer:

B: After a long walk in the hot sun, I saw a beautiful shade tree come into view.

Explanation:

The original sentence is saying that the tree went for a walk, which is wrong.

Revision B fixes the problem of a dangling or misplaced modifier.

Options C and D have the same problem as the original sentence. They still claim that it was a tree that "went for a long walk in the hot sun."
