      Question

      Find the error in the sentence. Walking through

      the forest trail at dusk, the sound of wild animals frightened the tourists badly.
      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.
