Question 5322 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Which of the sentences contains a dangling modifier?

Answer
A
After visiting the place it was filmed, the movie is sure to be great.
B
Sandy went to the game she told us about yesterday afternoon.
C
Jonathan may think he is the best golfer, but I disagree.
D
Because I didn’t want to be late, I ran through the hallway.

Explanation

In choice A, the opening phrase “After visiting the place it was filmed” should describe the person who visited, but the next subject is “the movie.” A movie cannot visit a place, so the modifier is dangling. The sentence should identify who visited the filming location, such as “After I visited the place where it was filmed, I was sure the movie would be great.”
