Conflict as a literary device is the challenge faced by a character that provides tension within the story. It can happen between two characters, between a character and their inner demons, or even between a character and the environment.
Out of the events provided, the one that would result in a conflict is "Soon, the people of the house, aroused by the noise, awoke and cried out, 'thieves, thieves!'", as it narrates the encounter between the antagonists and the other characters that will add tension to the plot. If the characters did not wake up due to the noise, the thieves presence would not result in a conflict.
Usually authors SHOULD and do have a moral of a story maybe just for kid books but a theme can also.
The answer is: dangling modifier.
Dangling modifiers are separate from the word they modify, resulting in ambiguity, confusion or nonsense. In the example sentence, it is not clear which animal is walking the wire - whether the dog or the squirrel. Supposing the squirrel (which is about to fall) is walking the wire, a correct version of the sentence would be:
My dog waited for the squirrel to fall, which was walking the wire.

The first choice, "<span>I suspect that he would enjoy living with whales more than [he enjoys living with] us." is the correct one. Remember that elliptical clauses are sentences that are missing part of the clause and needs to be completed with a correct pronoun. In this case, the correct pronoun is "us".
