Hi. As to your number 4 sentence, would you say the part that is in bold letters risks being a dangling modifier? I think it is pretty much clear from context that the part in bold letters refers to the "floor," rather than the person admiring it. Also, could we (I) have written "bolded part" or "embolded part" instead of writing as I did -- "part that is in bold letters"?

Also, could we (I) have written "bolded part" or "embolded part" instead of writing as I did?-- Strictly, no, since 'bold' is not a verb and 'embolden' has a different meaning; nevertheless, I do on occasion use both with this meaning, for brevity's sake.
