Correct the following dangling constructions by rewriting the sentence. when discouraged, the bible provides a blessed comfort.

A dangling construction is the result of words that are supposed to modify a noun but the noun is not present in the sentence. So, the modifier erronously describes a noun that IS in the sentence. In this case, "when discouraged" would modify a noun like people, but it actually modifies "the Bible".

A correct option to avoid the dangling modifier could be: When people feel discouraged, the Bible provides a blessed comfort. Another option could be to change the order: The Bible provides blessed comfort to dicouraged people.
