Lemme just - A dangling modifier is "a word or phrase which is used to modify a word or term not clearly stated in any given sentence."

ah okok i kinda get it o-o

IhelpUuHELPme:

Based on the meaning i gave you -A dangling modifier is "a word or phrase which is used to modify a word or term not clearly stated in any given sentence." You can eliminate A and C because a dangling modifier is technically when you don't describe something- for example if you say "the small" what exactly is the small thing? In answer choice A, who is "I"? In answer choice C, who is "we"? We are left with B and D. Which one do you think it is? xd

carmelle:

D?

IhelpUuHELPme:

Yes! You are correct o-o

carmelle:

Yay, tysm kathyyyy :D
