Answer 1

A dangling modifier occurs when an opening phrase suggests an action without naming an actor and then the clause that follows does not name the actor, but, in fact, starts with another actor entirely. So the first sentence implies that the Florida panther is the one that worked as a ranger. To fix sentences with this problem, you can take a couple of different approaches. Either you can insert the actor into the modifier or you can name the actor immediately following the introductory modifier.

So, sentence number one can be changed in a couple of ways:

a) While I was working as a ranger in Everglades National Park, a Florida panther crossed the road in front of my truck one night.

or

b) While working as a ranger in Everglades National Park, I encountered a Florida panther when it crossed the road in front of my truck one night.

You can make the same choice for each of the other sentences:

2. a) By the company following this new procedure, our mailing costs will be reduced significantly.
b) By following this new procedure, our company can reduce mailing costs significantly.

3. a) While she serves as president of the missionary circle, one of my grandmother's duties is to raise money for the church.
b) While serving as president of the missionary circle, my grandmother will have a number of duties including raising money for the church.

4. a) After Silas bought an album by Ali Farka Toure, the rich and rolling rhythms of Malian music made more sense to him.
b) After buying an album by Ali Farka Toure, Silas began to understand the rich and rolling rhythms of Malian music.

5. a) Because the engineers understood the high-tech needs of drivers, the Volkswagon Phaeton has an innovative dashboard design.
b) Understanding the high-tech needs of drivers, the engineers incorporated an innovative dashboard into the design of the Volkswagon Phaeton.

Good Luck!
