To understand how to figure misplaced / dangling modifiers, we must first understand the message that the sentence is trying to convey to us. So let us take a look at the answer choices:
A. The veterinarian, found in the woods with a broken leg, offered to help the dog.
Was the veterinarian found in the woods with a broken leg? And if so, by whom? And if they had a broken leg, why are they concerned with helping the dog, who seems to be fine?
I do not think that answer A is the right choice, so let's move on.
B. Found in the woods, the veterinarian offered to help the dog with a broken leg.
Aha, at least now the dog has something that requires the help of the veterinarian. But why is the veterinarian being found in the woods? Is he some sort of hermit?
Probably not. Moving on!
C. Found in the woods with a broken leg, the veterinarian offered to help the dog.
Now, we are completely stumped as to what was found in the woods with a broken leg. Because it's unclear, we can dismiss it as an option choice.
D. The veterinarian offered to help the dog found in the woods with a broken leg.
NOW we're onto something! The dog was found in the woods with a broken leg, and the veterinarian offered to help. From the looks of things, this makes the most sense, and therefore, option D is the correct answer.
Hope that helped! =)

Answer:
This is an example the theme of split identities of the main character, Starr Carter.
Explanation:
"The Hate You Give" by Angie Thomas narrates the life of a black girl and the main protagonist, Starr Carter stuck in between the two worlds of the black community and the white community. This story deals on the issue of racial inequality, split identities of the characters, the need to speak out and assert their own voice and also the power of a community. The particular quote of Starr, "<em>There are just some places where it’s not enough to be me. Either version of me</em>." shows her confusion over her split identities. She may be a black girl from a black community, Garden Heights and black heritage but she attends the white school in Williamson Prep. She fluctuates between these two worlds and most of the time she finds it hard to manage both identities making her frustrated, as is evident from the quoted passage.
