D. Having a friend carefully review your essay will keep grammatical errors to a minimum.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. By having a friend carefully review your essay, grammatical errors will be kept to a minimum.  

A dangling modifiers is a phrase which is used incorrectly in a sentence and as such doesn't refer to what it is supposed to refer (thus creating an ambiguous sentence). The way sentence B is written, it would seem that grammatical errors have a friend who will review them, when in fact this refers to you.

Thank you
