A dangling or misplaced modifier is any modifier that is being wrongly placed in a sentence, making it appear to modify the wrong word. In the given sentences above, the one that contains a dangling or misplaced modifier is sentence D. The modifier is "to survive the summer heat" and this wrongly modifies the word "give".
