The sentence with a dangling modifier is:
**While looking for a campsite, a tornado touched down near the park.**
In this sentence, the introductory phrase "While looking for a campsite" seems to modify the subject "a tornado," which does not make sense, as tornadoes do not look for campsites. This creates confusion about who was looking for the campsite. A clearer version could specify the subject, such as "While we were looking for a campsite, a tornado touched down near the park."
