Answer:
Explanation:
A million years ago, when dinosaurs were still roaming the earth, our English teacher came into the room and said to us. Look! Running up a tree, I saw a squirrel. Then when we had finished looking out the window to see if we could see the squirrel, she said to us. "What's the problem with that sentence?"
Trapped. A teacher joke.
Then we caught on. There was no squirrel, but there was a problem. Who was running up the tree?
You have the same difficulty. The punctuation is fine. The problem is in
Hope shouted my name, running toward me with a big stuffed animal.
Who exactly is doing the running? It sounds like your name is doing the running. You have to fix the order.
Running toward me holding a stuffed animal was Hope. As she ran, she was shouting my name. Even that is not totally correct. Let's try again.
Holding a stuffed animal as she ran toward me, Hope was shouting my name.
You can report this as a problem. The punctuation and Capitalization are fine. The order isn't.
D.
A. and C. use words and phrases that do not exist, and B. is incorrect because it uses the 'good, better, best' rule.
hope this helps!
