Question

select the misplaced or dangling modifier.
built during the great depression, more than a million people in the southwestern united states receive hydroelectric power from the hoover dam.
submit

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A dangling modifier is a phrase that does not clearly modify the correct noun in the sentence. Here, the phrase "Built during the Great Depression" is meant to describe the Hoover Dam, but it is placed next to "more than a million people", which is illogical because people were not built during the Great Depression. This makes the phrase a dangling modifier.

Answer:

Built during the Great Depression
