Which sentence corrects the misplaced modifier: 'Running down the street, the backpack fell off her shoulder'?

b.The backpack, running down the street, fell off her shoulder.

d.Running down the street off her shoulder, the backpack fell.
Giải thích
A modifier must clearly describe the right noun; a backpack cannot run down a street. Rewriting so 'she' performs the running fixes the dangling modifier. The corrected version makes the action logically belong to a person.
