Question 6 • Twilight Session 1 (Fall 26): Literature and Composition I_CThompson

Which sentence contains a dangling modifier?

Answer
A
Hungry after practice, the team gobbled up their sandwiches.
B
Looking through his backpack, Tyler finally spotted his calculator.
C
After trying the new recipe, chicken pizza tasted delicious.
D
With a sigh of exhaustion, Mrs. Granger put her feet up.

Explanation

In C, the opening phrase “After trying the new recipe” should describe the person who tried it. Instead, the sentence makes “chicken pizza” seem to have tried the recipe, so the modifier dangles. The other opening phrases correctly describe the team, Tyler, and Mrs. Granger.
