A participial phrase refers to a group of words that contains a verb in the - ing or past form, which is used to describe a noun or a pronoun, and its object. It is best to put the participial phrase near the object it describes. In the other 3 sentences, the participial phrase makes the thought even confusing; thus, the correct sentence is: "Peeling off her winter jacket, Sierra settled into the cozy armchair."
