Explanation:

its the only thing that can be the object

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.

when new information proves that a reader's prediction is wrong, the reader should

make a new prediction based on the new information.
