Question 6 • DBN LA 6-CR

Which of the following sentences contains a dangling modifier?

Answer
A
After walking to school, the bus slowly passed by.
B
The school bus has a morning and afternoon route.
C
Several students walk home together in the evening.
D
While waiting for the bus, Egypt ate her breakfast.

Explanation

In choice A, “After walking to school” should describe the person who walked, but the sentence’s subject is “the bus.” This makes the modifier dangle, since a bus cannot walk to school. Choice D is correctly structured because Egypt is the person waiting for the bus.
