Question 2 • SS-English Language Arts 7

When correcting a dangling modifier, what is a good question to ask?

Answer
A
What is missing from the sentence?
B
Which words are misspelled in the sentence?
C
What is not interesting in the sentence?
D
Which words are capitalized in the sentence?

Explanation

A dangling modifier does not clearly connect to the person or thing it is meant to describe. To correct it, ask what is missing—often the subject that should perform the action or be described—and revise the sentence so the modifier clearly refers to it. The other questions focus on spelling, interest, or capitalization, which do not fix a dangling modifier.
