Problem 7 - Olympiad

Which sentence has a dangling modifier?

A. Walking to school, the rain soaked my backpack.B. While walking to school, I got soaked by rain.C. I walked to school in the rain.D. The rain soaked my backpack as I walked to school.

Correct: A

The introductory phrase 'Walking to school' should modify the subject that follows. Because 'the rain' cannot walk, the modifier is left dangling without a logical subject.
