Why is this sentence so dangling?

What is Dangling modifier in sentences? Why do some sentences loom?

How do I get

a good salary? And why did you choose a major which wouldn’t make you a lot of money? “, trying to dissuade and telling her to reconsider it.

When I remember some ‘it’ after resconsider I don’t understand why it’s a dangling sentence which a classmate gave to me, because ‘the staff’ knows that his teacher is the bold part and she is dangling, but I don’t understand why it’s a dangling sentence. Why is this a problem even though the subject is same?

I asked a girl that had paid

her entrance fees to enter the university to study maths so I told her to reconsider. I tried to change it in French but instead I got another. Why are you going to college but you won’t make enough money to do all the courses? Is

there still dangling part in this sentence? Is this true, or is it completely true?

What are the best ways to escape a political charade?

In general, a “dangling” sentence, sentence, phrase, or clause, is one that is never a complete sentence and requires something else to make it complete.

In your example, “trying to dissuade and telling her to reconsider it” lacks a subject. Who is responsible for dissuading and telling? From context you mean it to be One of The Staff, or “One of The Staff,” but your grammar is not correct to link the two?

…. one of the staff tried to persuade her to reconsider her major by saying… This is basically the

structure of two sentences, which is correct. I really like your logical statement.
