Which sentence contains a dangling modifier? Hungry after practice, the team gobbled up their sandwiches. Looking through his backpack, Tyler finally spotted his calculator. After trying the new recipe, chicken pizza tasted delicious. With a sigh of exhaustion, Mrs. Granger put her feet up.

BabydollBlake:

Firstly, tell me what a dangling modifier is

LARENZIE:

A dangling modifier is a word or phrase (often a participle or participial phrase) that doesn't actually modify the word it's intended to modify. In some cases, a dangling modifier refers to a word that doesn't even appear in the sentence.
