Read the sentence. The dog ran fast until his owner stopped it. Look at the sentence diagram. "dog ran fast" is on one line, each word separated by a vertical line. The word "The" is on a diagonal line under "dog." The word "until" is on a dotted diagonal line under "ran." "owner stopped it" is on one line, each word separated by a vertical line. The word "their" is on a diagonal line under "owner." Which element is incorrect in this sentence diagram?

“The dog” should be replaced with “their owner.”

The word “until” should be replaced by “instead.”

The pronoun “their” should be replaced by “his.”

“”Ran fast” should be replaced by “stopped it.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer I would say is correct is C: The pronoun “their” should be replaced by “his.”

Explanation: The reason for this is because saying “Until their owner stopped it” doesn’t make proper sense so replacing “their” for “his” would be a better option because it’s grammatically correct.

Answer 2

C. The pronoun “their” should be replaced by “his.”

Step-by-step explanation:

The element that is incorrect in this sentence diagram is the pronoun “their” under “owner.” In the given sentence, the pronoun used is “his,” not “their.” So, the correct answer is: The pronoun “their” should be replaced by “his.”
