Answer:

Since the modifier is modifying the incorrect word, it is a dangling modifier. As a result, the meaning of the sentence is affected.

Explanation:    

A dangling modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is not in the right position in a sentence. As a result, the dangling modifier is operating over another word, phrase, or clause. Consequently, the sentence can be hard to understand, or can have another meaning than the intended one, or has no sense.
