Answer: B. he tripped over a loose brick

Answer: B) he tripped over a loose brick
Explanation: This tests Dangling Participles. The introductory participle phrase ("Walking down...") modifies the subject of the main clause. If you choose option A, it implies the brick was walking down the street. The subject must be the person doing the walking (he).
