Select the dangling modifier in the paragraph.

Yesterday was a rough day. Running for the bus, the rain began to pour. Then, at guitar lessons, I had to play a song I hadn't practiced. While walking home, I turned my ankle. My swollen ankle caused me to limp.

The dangling modifier in the paragraph is found in this phrase: Running for the bus, the rain began to pour.

Dangling modifiers are identified as errors. These don't have a clear target of the sentence and confuse the readers.

Running for the bus is a participle phrase. It doesn't have its correct target.

To correct the above dangling modifier, it should be like this.

While I am running for the bus, the rain began to pour.
