Answer 2

Answer: D) After reading the whole book, the ending was unsatisfying.

Explanation: A dangling modifier is a grammatical structure where a modifier could be associated with the wrong word or subject, or it can be associated with no particular word at all. This can produce to difficulty in the comprehension of the text. In the given sentences, the first three don't have a dangling modifier because there is no change in the subject (Jack arrived late, and took a seat; Leslie finish her homework arriving early, and I didn't hear the instructions so I found the assignment difficult) but in the last sentence, there is a change in the subject (I read the book, but the ending was unsatisfying) which implies a dangling modifier.
