Identify the sentence error by selecting the correct abbreviation. DES (definition and explanation structure) DC (dangling construction) MM (other misplaced modifiers) PS (poor structure). sentence: Riding his bike, the dog was almost hit by my brother.

The correct answer is DC. This sentence contains a dangling construction error.

A dangling construction occurs when a sentence contains a main clause and a participial clause/phrase and this participial phrase does not coincide or agrees with the subject of the main clause. This sentence contains a dangling construction error because it implies that the dog, which is the subject of the main clause, was riding the bike, which is impossible. A revised and correct version of this sentence would be "Riding his bike, my brother almost hits a dog".
