Which sentence corrects the dangling modifier in 'Walking to school, the rain started'?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. While I was walking to school, the rain started.
- Step 1: The phrase 'walking to school' needs a person who is walking. Step 2. Adding 'I' as the subject of the opening clause fixes the problem. Answer: While I was walking to school, the rain started. Why not the others: in the others the rain is still the one walking.
