We’re redefining the boundaries of our minds. Traversing continents and expanding returns.
The above is taken from an advertisement in the STAR of February 4, 2008.
This part consists of a complete sentence and a phrase while the remaining parts of the advertisement are made up of complete sentences.
The sentence and the phrase can be combined in either of the following two way into a complete sentence with the correct grammatical construction showing the same meaning if not better:-
- We’re redefining the boundaries of our minds traversing continents and expanding returns.
- Traversing continents and expanding returns, we’re redefining the boundaries of our minds.
"Traversing continents" and "expanding returns" are dangling modifiers or misplaced modifiers.
See my earlier posts of February 4 on Faulty sentence and February 5 on Misplaced modifiers.
