Question

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

Working on it for hours
Working on it for hours
After I worked on it for hours
, the horn on Minerva McGonagall's tricycle finally honks.

Answer 1

"After I worked on it for hours, the horn on Minerva McGonagall's tricycle finally honks."

Explanation: The participial phrase "Working on it for hours,..." is dangling because it incorrectly seems to modify "the horn." Beginning with "After I worked on it for hours" supplies the proper subject ("I") and removes the dangling modifier.
