Question

is the bold clause or phrase a dangling modifier? combing through a box of old photographs, everett rosss baby pictures were nowhere to be found. dangling modifier no error

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. Here, the participial phrase "Combing through a box of old photographs" implies a person performing the action, but the subject of the main clause is "Everett Ross's baby pictures," which can't perform the action of combing. So the modifier is dangling.

Answer:
