Which sentence contains a dangling modifier? i think it's the first one but im not sure. after opening a school for pets, aniko delaney started to educate the animals of iowa. having read your letter, my german shepherd will stay inside after dark. when my daughter jacklyn attended college, biology was her favorite subject. because he was thirsty after his run, calvin drank two bottles of water.

The correct answer is B. Having read your letter, my German shepherd will stay inside after dark.

Explanation:

In grammar, a dangling modifier is a grammatical mistake on the construction of sentences that occurs when a modifier, which is usually a word or words that act as an adjective or adverb and describe a noun, is not linked to the noun it describes and therefore the modifier dangles or in most cases is incorrectly associated with another noun. This often leads to confusing or ambiguous sentences. From the options provided the one that contains a dangling modifier is "Having read your letter, my German shepherd will stay inside after dark" because in this sentence the words "Having read your letter" act as a modifier, but the noun it modifies which is the person that read the letter has not been included which makes the modifier been associated with "my German shepherd", this does not make sense and is incorrect because a dog cannot read a letter, which means the modifier of the sentence dangles or remains without the noun it modifies and therefore the sentence contains a dangling modifier.

moon-letters were a method of writing invented by the dwarves. moon-letters were ordinary runes, but written in such a way that they could only be read when the light of the moon shone behind the writing. some moon-letters could be read by any moonlight, but it was possible to make the writing even more secret. more sophisticated moon-letters could only be read by the light of the same shape of moon, or at the same time of year, as when they were written. hope this !
