Answer:
B. This document changed the course of U.S. and world history in several ways.
Explanation:
Introductory paragraph must end on note which opens the way for further discussion.
The sentence in Option B shows that the paper will be about how this document changed the course of US history. By using the phrase “several ways”, the student will succeed in engaging the audience to read more about these<em> “several ways”.</em> Moreover this end of the first paragraph is also connected with the title of the paper i.e “Effect of the United States Declaration of Independence”
Sentences in option A, C, and D can be included in the middle of the first paragraph just to give some basic information of the Declaration. But none of them should be at the end of the introductory paragraph as they give no hint about what is to come next in the paper.

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...
