Pick the sentence with the correct use of MODIFIERS:
AThe player, running across the field caught the ball.
BRunning across the field, the player caught the ball.
CRunning across the field, the ball was caught by the player.
DThe ball was caught running across the field.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Running across the field, the player caught the ball.
Dangling modifier: 'Running across the field' must modify a person, not the ball. (A) implies the ball was running, which is absurd. (B) correctly attaches the participial phrase to the player. (D) is missing a comma.
