Brief Explanations
A dangling modifier occurs when the phrase meant to describe a subject does not logically connect to the subject of the sentence. Here, the phrase "Sleeping in the hammock" incorrectly modifies "the branches" (the sentence's subject), but branches cannot sleep—this phrase should logically describe Jackson, who is not the stated subject, making it a dangling modifier.
