What is a Dangling Modifier?

A dangling modifier is described as a modifier(in the form of a phrase or word) that fails to clearly refer to the subject it is describing.

In order to accomplish the above sentence without any dangling modifier, the word describing the noun or pronoun must come right after it is preceded by a comma(,).

The modifier "falling...afternoon" describes the noun "the rain" and thus, option A is the correct answer.
