Solution

A dangling participle in a sentence is a modifier that is not clearly related to the word it modifies. It is a type of grammatical error that occurs when the participle (a verb that is used as an adjective to modify nouns) or participle phrase does not clearly or logically modify any word in the sentence. This can lead to confusion and misinterpretation as the subject of the participle or participle phrase is unclear.
