Swinging through the air, the children were delighted by the acrobats on the stage. Which part of the sentence is a dangling modifier? "Swinging through the air" "the children were delighted" "by the acrobats" "on the stage"

The part of the sentence that is the dangling modifier is:

"Swinging through the air".

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that is placed incorrectly in a sentence, which creates ambiguity. Its position makes it unclear to what or whom it refers.

In the sentence "Swinging through the air, the children were delighted by the acrobats on the stage," it is unclear who was swinging through the air. We can easily assume it was the acrobats, because that is what acrobats do. However, when we first read the sentence, we may also easily think it refers to the children, because "children" is the noun closer to the modifier. Thus, we can say that "swinging through the air" is the dangling modifier.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
