Final answer:

The correct sentence rephrases Nina's dangling modifier to align the subject with the modifier.


Explanation:

The correct sentence: Afraid and anxious, the child was terrified of the darkness in the room at bedtime.

Explanation: By moving the prepositional phrase 'at bedtime' closer to the subject 'the child,' the sentence no longer contains a dangling modifier, making it grammatically correct. In this revised sentence, the subject and the modifier are appropriately aligned.
