Answer 2

c seems ...weirdly written, but i have no idea what a modifier is mate, sorry, standby and I'll look it up

Answer 3

believe it's C @Please__help____me!!! as "sunk at sea with three people aboard" doesn't tell you what/who was sunk at sea, and from the other sentences we know it wasn't the coast guard who were, so it's "dangling"
