Identify the dangling modifier: Walking to the hospital, the rain began to fall.
- A. The sentence is correct
- B. Walking to the hospital wrongly appears to describe the rain
- C. began should be begun
- D. the rain should be a rain
Explanation
The introductory phrase must describe the subject of the main clause, but here that subject is the rain, which cannot walk. Correcting it means naming the walker, as in walking to the hospital, I felt the rain begin to fall. Dangling modifiers produce sentences that are grammatically neat but absurd in meaning.
