Read the excerpt from "Object Lesson, Part 2." "I see we'll have to do it the hard way," Ellery said. "Sorry I can't produce the thief with a flick of my wrist, the way it's done in books, but in real life, detection — like crime — is pretty unexciting stuff. We'll begin with a body search. It's voluntary, by the way. Anybody rather not chance a search? Raise your hand." Not a muscle moved. Which sentence from the excerpt adds the most suspense? We'll begin with a body search. It's voluntary, by the way. Anybody rather not chance a search? Not a muscle moved.

answer:   the correct answer is: [a]:  

                          →     " theme " .

hope this !

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.
