Explanation:
Ruth gets the drop on Wolfman, shooting him in the back at close range with a pistol. There are more pages remaining than any denouement would require, so Wolfman's return isn't that much of a surprise itself. He nabs Ruth, tosses her in a car, drags her to a field to finish his kill. She's so close to salvation. She can see a convenient store up ahead and hears cop cars approaching. If she can just fight Wolfman a few more minutes, she can make it. But she knows he'll overpower her. He's determined to end her even if it means guaranteeing his own capture. So she does the only thing she can. She plays dead. Wolfman is so convinced that he buries her in a pit. He shovels dirt onto her face, and Ruth fights the urge to blink. The girl who values winning above all else must give up and be defeated in order to save herself. In order to continue to be anything at all, she has to become nothing. Just a few pages previous we saw Ruth floating triumphantly downriver in what should have been a standard baptismal/rebirth moment, but it's not till she's pulled out of the ground like a resurrected corpse that she truly allows change into her heart. It's a great ending, the right ending. Ruth is grating for a good part of the book, prideful, conceited, cocky. Going limp against every instinct, every self-taught survival mechanism she has, Ruth is truly humbled, truly changed. Ruthless is Adams' first book, and it's flawed. But the ending she chose is perfect.

Explanation:
A Modifier is considered dangling when the sentence isn't clear about what is being modified
Soil compaction occurs when soil particles are pressed
together, reducing pore space between them. Heavily compacted soils
contain few large pores and have a reduced rate of both water infiltration and
drainage from the compacted layer. Excessive soil compaction impedes
root growth and therefore limits the amount of soil explored by roots. This, in
turn, can decrease the plant's ability to take up nutrients and water. From the
standpoint of crop production, the adverse effect of soil compaction on water flow
and storage may be more serious than the direct effect of soil compaction on
root growth.
