Answer

Brief Explanations:

A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. In "Trying to decide what to eat for dinner, the grilled chicken looked delicious", the modifier "Trying to decide what to eat for dinner" seems to be attached to "the grilled chicken", but it's people who are trying to decide, not the chicken. In the other sentences, the do - ers of the action "trying to decide" are clearly "we".

Answer:

  1. Trying to decide what to eat for dinner, the grilled chicken looked delicious.
