Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The errors in the other answer choices all involve a type of misplaced modifier known as dangling participial phrases.
A participial phrase is a phrase that functions as an adjective that modifies the noun that directly precedes or follows the phrase. When the phrase directly precedes or follows a noun that it does not modify we call this a dangling participial phrase. In this example, we know that the person is walking home from his/her friend's house, not the sun.
So, walking home from my friend's house needs to be next to the noun it modifies, which is I.
