Choose the correct version of the sentence.
“Walking to school, the rain soaked my clothes.”

Correct option is B

The error lies in the original sentence, and the correct replacement is option (b).

• Explanation: In the sentence “Walking to school, the rain soaked my clothes”, the introductory phrase “Walking to school” wrongly seems to modify “the rain”.
• This creates a dangling modifier because the rain cannot walk to school.
• Option (b) correctly supplies the logical subject “I” and removes the ambiguity: “As I was walking to school, my clothes were soaked by the rain.”

Grammatical rule (English):
• An introductory participial phrase must clearly refer to the subject that immediately follows it.
• If the subject after the phrase is not the doer of the action, a dangling modifier error occurs.

व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):
• प्रारम्भिक participial phrase उसी subject को modify करनी चाहिए जो उसके तुरंत बाद आए।
• यदि उसके बाद आने वाला subject उस क्रिया का कर्ता नहीं है, तो dangling modifier की त्रुटि होती है।

Explanation of Other Options:
• (a): Awkward and less natural in structure.
• (c): It remains incomplete and unclear about who was walking.
• (d): The modifier still wrongly attaches to “my clothes”.

So the correct answer is (b)
