Although this would might be an uncommon grammar argument, a dangling verb may be referred to more commonly as a dangling modifier. In this case, it may be a non-parallel shift in what is being acted upon in a compound sentence. For example, "They are encouraged to go to clubs" would be trouble-free, but add another clause onto this and trouble ensues. For example: "They are encouraged to go to school and relationships established." To repair the damage caused by the non-parallel, additional clause, you have to use the same parallel type of clause, or use a second verb to modify the clause in a parallel way. "They are encouraged to go to school and establish relationships with peers."

What are the three kinds of dangling modifiers?
There are actually a number of causes for dangling modifiers: some are dangling participles, dangling gerunds, dangling infinitives, and misplaced modifiers. In all cases, they result in sentences that are unintentionally funny. My favorites are: I heard it was going to rain on the radio. (Misplaced: "on the radio" should be next to "heard" unless you have a radio with a big rain cloud over it.) Sandy was walking her dog in a really short skirt. (Misplaced: this sentence seems to say the dog was wearing a really short skirt, rather than Sandy.) Having broken its leg, we took the dog to the hospital. (Dangling gerund-- did WE break the dog's leg?) A clean coffee pot is necessary to enjoy a good cup of coffee. (Dangling infinitive-- where's the subject in this sentence? Who is drinking the coffee-- the coffee pot?)
How do you identify the dangling cause in the film?
Dangling causes are generally unanswered questions for the audience. For instance, in the beginning of The Big Lebowski, when The Dude is attacked in his apartment by two henchmen, their presence in the film is a dangling cause. We must ask "who are these men, and what are they doing in The Dude's apartment?" Dangling causes are left to the audience's imagination, until they get answered later on in the film. Eventually, we find out that the men were hired by Jacky Treehorn, a fictional pornographer, who has the wrong Lebowski household.
