English MCQ #11155

  1. Question 1

    Q1. Which correction fixes both the modifier and the logic: "Running for the bus, my phone fell out of my pocket."?

    • A) Running for the bus, my phone dropped from my pocket.
    • B) While I was running for the bus, my phone fell out of my pocket.
    • C) Running for the bus, falling was my phone from my pocket.
    • D) Running for the bus, the pocket lost my phone.

    Answer: While I was running for the bus, my phone fell out of my pocket.

    Explanation: A dangling modifier requires adding the correct subject to the main clause; "While I was running for the bus" provides the explicit subject "I" so the modifier is no longer dangling.
