Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In sentence B, the -ING modifier "Hanging by one leg from a wooden hanger" is placed at the beginning of the sentence, which can confusingly suggest that it is Nico who is hanging by one leg from a wooden hanger, rather than his pants. This misplaced modifier creates ambiguity and confusion about what is actually hanging.
