Breaking into a sweat, the test eas about to begin.
The sentence has dangling modifier as the noun that is being qualified is missing here. Who is breaking into a sweat is not given here, hence the dangling modifier. The correct sentence could be: Breaking into a sweat, when he reached the test was about to begin.
