The entire poem is quite satirical and meant to mock these kinds of ideas and behaviors.

The best answer that would point to a sentence that has a misplaced modifier would be letter a. The phrase 'swimming away' was pertaining to the ducks. However, the modifier seemed like it was referring to the dog instead of the ducks.
