Participle Clauses: Shortening Sentences with -ing and Having + Past Participle

Oops! Something's wrong here. Select ALL the sentences that correctly fix this **dangling participle** error:

**Incorrect:** "Walking to the bus stop, the rain started pouring."

- [x] Walking to the bus stop, I got caught in the pouring rain.
- [ ] Walking to the bus stop, it started raining heavily.
- [x] As I was walking to the bus stop, the rain started pouring.
- [ ] The rain started pouring, walking to the bus stop.

The correct answers are **Walking to the bus stop, I got caught in the pouring rain** and **As I was walking to the bus stop, the rain started pouring**.
>Error: **dangling participle** — the subject of "Walking" must match the subject of the main clause. The rain wasn't walking! Fix it by making a person the subject, or rewrite with a full clause ("As I was walking…").
