Question

which sentence better matches the image? waving to my friend across the street, i accidentally steered my bike into a tree. i accidentally steered my bike into a tree waving to my friend across the street.

Explanation:

The first sentence correctly places the participial phrase "Waving to my friend across the street" to modify the speaker (the bike rider), matching the image's context of the rider interacting with a friend while near a tree. The second sentence misplaces the phrase, incorrectly implying the tree is waving to the friend, which does not match the image.

Answer:

Waving to my friend across the street, I accidentally steered my bike into a tree.
