Decide whether the sentence below contains a misplaced and/or dangling modifier or no error.
having flipped the canoe, all the camping gear was lost in the river.
a. dangling
b. misplaced
c. both misplaced and dangling
d. no error

The correct answer is A. Dangling

Explanation:

A dangling or dangling modifier is a grammatical construction that is ambiguous this usually means the construction is not clear as one word is mistakenly associate to another. On the other hand, a misplaced modifier occurs when the modifier, which is usually an adjective or word that modifies another, is separated in an incorrect way from the word it modifies which leads to misunderstandings or makes the meaning of the sentence confusing. In the case of "Having flipped the canoe, all the camping gear was lost in the river" it is not clear who or what flipped the canoe and the reader might understand it was the camping gear the one that flipped the canoe which does not make sense, considering the grammatical construction is ambiguous and not clear it can be concluded in this case there is a dangling modifier, that means the problem is not the location of the modifier but the general construction.
