Which one of the following sentences contains a dangling modifier?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A dangling modifier occurs when the modifier does not clearly refer to the subject of the sentence. In option C, 'that needed paint' implies the garage needed paint, but the structure suggests it could incorrectly modify the truck or brother, creating ambiguity. The other sentences have clear modifiers, making C the correct answer.
