Answer:
A misplaced modifier is a type of ambiguous grammatical construct whereby a grammatical modifier could be misinterpreted as being associated with a word other than the one intended. A dangling modifier or hanging modifier is one that has no subject at all and is usually a participle.
Examples - Having finished the assignment, Jill turned on the TV. "Having finished" states an action but does not name the doer of that action.

Answer:
A modifier is considered dangling when the sentence isn't clear about what is being modified. For example, "The big" doesn't make sense without telling what is big which leaves "big" as a dangling modifier; but, "the big dog" is a complete phrase.
