What do you need help with, chickadee? :)

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier? While riding his bike, Sam did some neat new tricks. Yesterday, I walked up to the lion eating popcorn. Waving a dollar bill, Sue ran wildly toward the ice cream truck. Surfing at the beach, the waves tossed me around violently.

Modifiers are words, phrases, or clauses that provide description in sentences. Modifiers allow writers to take the picture that they have in their heads and transfer it accurately to the heads of their readers. Essentially, modifiers breathe life into sentences.

Umm the only one I see that seems incorrect would be A. It has two modifiers that seem slightly incorrect to me. B doesn't even have a modifier. C and D are correct with their modifiers.
