Question 87993 • Twilight Session 1 (Fall 26): Literature and Composition I_CThompson

Which sentence corrects the dangling modifier in the sample sentence?After reading the whole book, the ending was unsatisfying.

Answer
A
Reading the whole book, the ending was unsatisfying.
B
After reading the whole book, I found that the ending was unsatisfying.
C
After reading the whole book, the ending became unsatisfying.
D
Reading the whole book, the ending was unsatisfying.

Explanation

The opening phrase “After reading the whole book” needs to describe the person who did the reading. In choice B, “I” is the person who read it, so the modifier is no longer dangling. The other choices still make “the ending” seem to be the thing that read the book.
