Question

the following sentence has a dangling modifier. carefully turning the pages, this book was sure to be exciting! which revision corrects the sentence with the dangling modifier? carefully turning the pages, this book was sure to be exciting to liev! this book, carefully turning the pages, was sure to be exciting to liev! carefully turning the pages, liev realized that this book was sure to be exciting! this book belonging to liev was sure to be exciting, carefully turning the pages!

Explanation:

A dangling modifier occurs when the word it modifies is not clearly stated. In the original, it's unclear who is turning the pages. The correct revision should clearly show the doer of the action. In "Carefully turning the pages, Liev realized that this book was sure to be exciting!", "Liev" is the one turning the pages, making the modifier no longer dangling.

Answer:

C. Carefully turning the pages, Liev realized that this book was sure to be exciting!
