The dangling modifier is "Running around the building, the bushes..." This means that the BUSHES are running around the building since whatever comes after the modifier is modified. However, we want the sentence to mean that the girl is running around the building, not the bushes. Therefore, we can rewrite the sentence in a way where the girl comes immediately after the modifier instead of the bushes. 

For example, "Running around the building, she was nearly blocked by the bushes." The pronoun "she" comes right after the modifier, which fixes the dangling modifier.

Hope I helped :)
- Peace, love, and happiness.

George and Lennie don't trust one other enough to travel apart, which is why they always travel together when they go out on the road. The textual evidence is given on page 39, "you know how the hands are, they just go in, receive their bunch, work, and quit."

<h3>What is textual evidence?</h3>

Textual evidence is verifiable text gathered from the original source or document to support a thesis or argument, and it frequently appears as a quotation or descriptive text.
