Answer:

Comma splice- I own two old dirt bikes, they're fun to ride.

Misplaced modifier- While riding my bike, my dog ran up to me.

Fragment- Riding a dirt bike down a long winding path.

Dangling participle- While biking, I wore a helmet it's safer that way.

Explanation:

A fused sentence is when two independent clauses/ sentences are put together as a single sentence without the use of punctuation or a coordinating conjunction to separate them. This type of sentence is also known as a run-on sentence. "I fell off my bike while riding down the street."

Comma splice is when the two independent clauses are put together in a single sentence with the use of a comma to separate them. "I own two old dirt bikes, they're fun to ride."

Misplaced modifier is when the modifier is placed in such a way that it is unsure or confusing to know which noun the modifier is modifying. "While riding my bike, my dog ran up to me."

A fragment is a slice/ piece of sentence that is not complete but just a part of a whole sentence. It is an incomplete sentence. "Riding a dirt bike down a long winding path."

A dangling participle is when the adjective modifies the wrong noun in the sentence.  "While biking, I wore a helmet it's safer that way."
