GPT-5 mini · Answer

The first sentence: "After walking to school, the bus slowly passed by."

Reason: The introductory phrase "After walking to school" is meant to modify a person (e.g., students), but grammatically it attaches to "the bus," which cannot "walk."

Possible fixes:
- "After walking to school, the students saw the bus slowly pass by."
- "After the students walked to school, the bus slowly passed by."
