Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewritten sentence: As an exchange student living with them, Kiley will spend time with her host family.

Step-by-step explanation: The original sentence has a dangling modifier because "Living as an exchange student" does not logically modify "Kiley's host family." By rewriting the sentence to add a prepositional phrase ("As an exchange student living with them"), we clarify that it is Kiley who is living with her host family and will spend time with them.

Rewritten sentence: "We will meet you when your flight arrives," said Ms. Jablonski, at the airport.

Explanation: Adding the prepositional phrase "at the airport" clarifies where Ms. Jablonski will meet the person. The original sentence does not specify where the meeting will take place, so adding this phrase provides necessary information for the listener or reader.
