Answer:

Your answer would be D.

Explanation:

The sentence that contains a dangling modifier is D. A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. In the sentence above, "preparing for the experiment" is a present participle expressing an action but does not name the doer of the action. In English sentences, the doer of the action must be the subject of the main sentence. However, the doer of the action is not "several slides" (the subject of the main clause). Slides do not have volition, so they can't prepare an experiment.

As the doer of the action is not clearly stated, the participle phrase is said to be dangling. Consequently, you should name the appropriate or logical doer of the action as the subject of the main clause. In this case, it could be an NP such as "the scientist" or you can turn the whole sentence into a when clause --> When the scientist was preparing the experiment, several slides...

How does Harper lee create dramatic tension in the court room
ivann1987 [24]
The mood and atmosphere to the trial is really built up over many chapters. Before the trial every begins we see the bigotry of the town as well as the humanity in a small handful of characters. So, when the trail finally takes place the mood and atmosphere is tense with a touch of somber resignation. I say this because deep down the reader, like Atticus, knows that the trial will not go well. The jury is made up of a bunch of older white men who cannot see past their set ways. The court is full of people, “We knew there was a crowd, but we had not bargained for the multitudes in the first floor hallway”. The blacks and the whites are segregated and Scout and Jem get to sit in the black section. Lee sets the symbolism and the tone for the trial perfectly.
