Avoiding Awkward Constructions: A dangling modifier occurs when the noun that a phrase or clause is supposed to describe is not
stated directly. Thus, the phrase or clause "dangles" without anything to clearly modify. Revise the sentence below so that the noun being described is directly stated. 1. Driving past the junkyard, a foul odor was present. (Who was driving? It isn't stated. You will have to add a subject.)
The best answer is C. It's important to use updated information in your research, therefore why B and A are not the answer. As for D, information from the Internet can be trustworthy; it depends on which site you're using. For example, .gov is a good site to use.
