What is the brief meaning of Ellipses.

1a : the omission of one or more words that are obviously understood but that must be supplied to make a construction grammatically complete. b : a sudden leap from one topic to another.

2 : marks or a mark (such as … ) indicating an omission (as of words) or a pause.

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.
