whose
The correct correction for the underlined word in the sentence is "whose."
The correct word that should replace the underlined word "who" in the sentence is "whose."
Explanation:
To determine the correct word to use, we need to understand the role of the word in the sentence. In this case, we are trying to identify the possession or ownership of the bear's paw.
"Who" is used to refer to a person or people, so it is not appropriate in this context because we are talking about a bear.
"Whose" is a possessive pronoun used to indicate ownership or possession by someone. It is the correct word to use in this sentence because we are talking about the paw of the bear.
Therefore, the correct correction is to replace "who" with "whose."
