Which sentence contains a dangling modifier? While I was doing my homework, my pen ran out of ink. Dressed in a snowsuit, the cold weather did not bother the child. Reading until late at night, Caryn felt tired the next morning. Playing his guitar, Frank held the audience’s attention.

yes : Playing his guitar, Frank held the audience's attention

Incorrect. A dangling modifier is something that is not clarified. D is a modifier because it clarifies that Frank was the person that was playing the guitar. The correct answer is B because we don't know who was dressed in a snowsuit. We can infer it was the child, however, it is not clear.
