Question

Select the version of the sentence that does not have a dangling modifier.

With pointed toes, Adyant Vardhineni's shoulders were my leaping point into the swimming pool
Adyant Vardhineni's shoulders were my leaping point into the swimming pool
I leapt off Adyant Vardhineni's shoulders into the swimming pool
.

Answer 1

"I leapt off Adyant Vardhineni's shoulders into the swimming pool."

This version clearly assigns the action to "I," so any modifying phrase (e.g., "with pointed toes") would attach to the correct subject. The first sentence has a dangling modifier; the second is grammatical but omits the modifier's detail.
