Answer:
The state music contest, a competition that happens once a year, had arrived.
Explanation:
I have been able to rewrite sentences 3 and 4 as one sentence containing an appositive phrase.
An appositive phrase refers to a noun or a noun phrase that actually renames the noun next to it. The appositive phrase goes ahead to explain and give more meaning to the noun next to it.
In the above sentence, "<em>a competition that happens once a year</em>" is the appositive phrase that explains or renames "<em>The state music contest</em>".
The purpose it actually serves is to give more information about the noun.

The correct answer is After I took a nice hot shower, my cat lapped up the water on the floor.
Explanation:
A dangling modifier is a term used for an ambiguous grammatical construction in which one word might be incorrectly linked to a modifier (a word that modify a noun). In the example given, in the case given the relationship between nouns and verbs is not clear as it is not clear whether it was the cat who took a hot shower and then lapped up the water or there is another subject involved. However, in the sentence "After I took a nice hot shower, my cat lapped up the water on the floor" each of the actions in the sentence (took a shower and lapped up) are linked to a subject in a clear way so there is no ambiguity in which subject carried out each action and thus the dangling modifier disappears.
