Identify the problem in the following sentence: Blowing the whistle loudly, the driver on the road nearby
was surprised by the train.
A. Misplaced modifier
B. Dangling participle
C. Awkward modifier
D. Split infinitive

B. Dangling participle.

Explanation:

A dangling participle is a participle that is intended to modify a noun that is not present or included in the sentence. In other words, we can say that a dangling participle is when a participle is used to modify a noun not present or mentioned in the sentence. Or we can say, a participle that wrongly modifies a noun in the sentence.

In the given sentence "blowing the whistle loudly, the driver on the road nearby was surprised by the train", the modifier or participle "blowing the whistle loudly" has no noun to modify. It is left alone in the sentence.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

1. ( 3rd option ) peter gets into a fight with the musician because they will not play a happy song for him.

2. ( 2nd option) petty arguments like feuds lead to pointless tragedy .

remember, the goal of an adjective clause is to add more information to a noun or a pronoun. as you can see from the examples above, you can add information by including a longer adjective clause or tighten up a sentence by turning the adjective clause into an adjective phrase.
