Hello, "born in 1906 on long Island" how this is the participle phrase although it is not starting by a participle? And the past participle form of (Born) is Bornt Please reply to my comment because this would be helpful👍
Born is the past participle, actually. "Bornt" is non-standard. Participial phrases can start with present participles (ending in -ing) or past participles (form varies).
No, it's a dangling modifier -- you need to put something like "car" after the opener. Here's a possibility (there are many): "Totaled beyond repair, the Archie's old car would have to be replaced."

Totaled beyond repair, Archie knew that he'd have to buy a new car.
Is this sentence correct? if not how to correct?

Which verb will it be modifying if I say "i followed the thief into the cave, trying to not make a sound?"
That phrase is modifying "I"
You could also write it as "Trying not to make a sound, I followed the thief into the cave."
