When you see a sentence not make sense it's usually because you are leaving out important words or mixing them up in the wrong way in that sentence so due to this knowledge a dangling modifier would be C.

I just took the test, the answer is D. phrase that has nothing to modify in a sentence.

A sentence fault similar to a misplaced modifier is a dangling modifier. Dangling modifiers are usually verbal phrases (participial, gerund, or infinitive phrases). They seem to dangle, unconnected to the rest of the sentence. For example,

    Answering the phone, my paperwork gets behind.

Now, since a participle is an adjective, it must describe a noun or pronoun. A noun or pronoun should be close to it. The only word here that the phrase could possibly describe is the noun paperwork. Of course, that doesn’t make sense: the paperwork didn’t answer the phone. So, the participial phrase is left hanging, with no noun or pronoun to modify. Put a logical noun or pronoun into the sentence:

    Answering the phone, I get behind on my paperwork.

Answer:

Huck reacts by not being able to speak or breathe because he is so scared. I think he is starting to realize that life isn't forever and life can be quickly ended by other people, so you have to be careful with what kind of situations you put yourself in and who you surround yourself with.
