Question

you are asked to revise the following sentence so it contains no dangling or misplaced modifiers:
we hid behind the bushes waiting for squirrels holding our cameras.
which choice is the best answer?
there is no revision needed. the original sentence is correct as it is.
holding our cameras, we hid behind the bushes waiting for squirrels.
holding our cameras, we waited for squirrels hiding behind the bushes.
we waited for squirrels hiding behind the bushes holding our cameras.

Explanation:

The original sentence has a misplaced modifier: "holding our cameras" incorrectly appears to describe "squirrels" instead of "we". The correct revision moves the modifier "Holding our cameras" to the start, clearly linking it to the subject "we", and keeps the logical meaning that we hid behind bushes while waiting for squirrels. Other options either retain the misplaced modifier or alter the original intended meaning (e.g., suggesting squirrels are hiding behind bushes).

Answer:

Holding our cameras, we hid behind the bushes waiting for squirrels.
