The rewrite of the sentence that corrects the dangling modifier is D.

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. For instance, in A it is not clearly understood who is coming around the bend too quickly.

The dangling modifier is fixed by naming the appropriate or logical doer of the action as the subject of the main clause, such as in D. In D the participle is immediately followed by the NP "Jim", which is the doer of the action, the one coming around the turn too quickly. Therefore, it is understood that the participle phrase is modifying said noun.

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.

the correct answer would be d.
