    A Walking through the forest trail at dusk Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B the sound of wild animals Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C frightened the tourists badly Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Dangling modifier — it seems the sound is walking. Subject should be tourists. We must make the doer of walking = tourists. So rewrite the sentence by bringing tourists as subject. Correction: Walking through the forest trail at dusk, the tourists were frightened by the sound of wild animals.
