Answers
Modifiers are words or phrases that add more meaning to a sentence. A dangling or misplaced modifier is a modifier that has been incorrectly placed. Such modifiers do not add clarity to the sentence. Instead, they cause greater confusion. Simply changing the order of words in a sentence fixes the problem.
