Which words in the sentence are the misplaced participial phrase?

On the way to the playground, Billy avoided a large puddle hoping to keep his shoes dry.

A.
On the way

B.
hoping to keep his shoes dry

C.
to the playground

D.
Billy avoided a large puddle



Answer :

"B. hoping to keep his shoes dry" is misplaced here. The way this part of the sentence is placed currently implies that Billy didn't necessarily do this act consciously.
