This sentence - "Her heart sank and could hardly stand." looks like dangling error.
It should be : "Her heart sank and she could hardly stand."
Since it is not dangling error, what is the grammatical name for this type of errors?

What makes you think it's not a dangling modifier?

Beeesnees,
I heard of dangling participle error.
This can be also branded as dangling error.
Am I correct?
Could you give me some more examples of this type.?
