Answer 1

Answer: The following sentence has a squinting modifier (sm) type of error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Misplaced modifier -a modifier that is not close enough to the word it modifies.

Squinting modifier- a word, phrase, or clause that logically modifies more than one sentence element- produces ambiguity.

Faulty parallelism- words, phrases, and clauses joined by conjunctions are not of the same grammatical type.

Dangling modifier- an adjective modifier (usually a phrase or clause) lacking a clear connection to the element it is intended to modify; often, the part is not present in the sentence.
