The sentence that contains a dangling modifier is sentence 2: "After attending the concert, the bus was late." The modifier "After attending the concert" is misplaced because it seems to be modifying "the bus," which does not make sense. The intended meaning is that Darlene was late after attending the concert, not the bus.
