The fourth sentence: "After reading the whole book, the ending was unsatisfying."

Why: The introductory phrase "After reading the whole book" is meant to modify the reader, not "the ending," so the modifier is dangling.

Fixes:
- "After I read the whole book, I found the ending unsatisfying."
- "Having read the whole book, I found the ending unsatisfying."
