Answer:

  • The sentence makes it seem like the horse is laughing in the face of danger.
  • The participial phrase “laughing in the face of danger” is modifying the wrong noun.
  • The participial phrase “laughing in the face of danger” should be closer to “cowboy.”

These are the reasons why the sentence should be revised. The way the phrase "laughing in the face of danger" is placed in the sentence leads to several confusing assumptions. The sentence makes it seem like the horse is the one who is laughing in the face of danger. This is because the sentence is placed in a way that it modifies the wrong noun: "horse" instead of "cowboy." If the sentence were to be rewritten, and the phrase was placed closer to "cowboy," this problem would be fixed.

  • The participial phrase “laughing in the face of danger” is modifying the wrong noun.
  • The participial phrase “laughing in the face of danger” should be closer to “cowboy.”

What is the error?

  1. The “laughing in the face of danger” clause is incorrectly positioned.
  2. The “laughing in the face of danger” clause is leading to mixed conclusions.
  3. The clause “laughing in the face of danger” is associated with the wrong noun.
  4. The clause “laughing in the face of danger” is undermining the coherence and cohesion of the sentence.

The sentence presents an incorrect narrative about the horse and the man, as it was written in such a way as to instruct the reader that the horse was laughing, when in fact it was the man. Therefore, to fix this error the clause “laughing in the face of danger” should be placed next to the noun "cowboy."
