In which sentence are the italicized words a dangling modifier? A. Arriving ten minutes late, the store was closed for the night
Citrus2011 [14]
The sentence where there is a dangling modifier is the first one - A) Arriving ten minutes late, the store was closed for the night.
It is dangling because it doesn't refer to anybody - the way it is incorrectly written, it would seem that the store arrived ten minutes late, and not a person.
