The correct answer is option D) Collecting groceries, the store got busie and busier.

Explanation:

Dangling modifiers are mistakes within a sentence that occur when the sentence includes a modifier but forgets the target. Therefore, the modifier dangles since it has no target to modify.

In the example provided, the modifier "collecting groceries" does not have a target to modify (Who is collecting groceries?).

the correct answer is d. in john paston's letter written friday, 14, 1476, he expresses his fear that he may have to go to war.

indeed, although the black death was ravaging europe, the pastons were relatively safe from it due to their social status as they were part of the landed gentry. it is clear that the vast majority of the victims of the pandemic were the poor. the reason why he is weary of having to go to war is because at the particular time england was also devastated by the war of the roses and paston, being a courtesan was inevitably involved.
