Question

Which sentence contains a dangling modifier?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A

Answer 2

Answer:

A. After making the team, practices and games took up a lot of free time.

Explanation:

Dangling Modifiers:

Modifiers are used by writers to give a clear and logical meaning to sentences.

The above sentence fails to give a clear meaning to who made the team and lost a lot of free time. It sounds vague. - That is why it´s known as a dangling modifier because the word which gives a clearer meaning is missing (dangling).

To understand better the meaning of the sentence, it could read: After Joy made the team, practices and games took up a lot of her free time.

OR

After making the team, Joy´s practices and games took up a lot of her free time.
