Trying to keep her balance on the icy surface, the last competitor's ski-tip caught the pole and somersaulted into the soft snow.
AnswerClick to flip back
A
the last competitor caught the pole with the tip of her ski, and somersaulted into the soft snow.
💡 Explanation:
The original sentence has a dangling modifier - it grammatically suggests the ski-tip somersaulted, not the person. Option C correctly makes 'the last competitor' the subject who both caught the pole and somersaulted.
