Answer 3

Incorrect

It was A

The sentence as written has a dangling modifier. To correct the dangling modifier, the underlined portion of the sentence needs to be rewritten in the following way: the council members voted to prohibit all skateboarding on public sidewalks and parking lots. This revision allows the opening modifier to modify "council members" correctly instead of "the vote." The revision also makes the sentence more direct and concise.
