What correction should be made to the underlined word in the sentence?
• whom
• who
• whose
O who's
The correction that should be made to the underlined word in the sentence is "whose".
The correct correction to be made to the underlined word in the sentence is "whose."
To determine the correct answer, we can focus on the possessive form of the pronoun "who." In the sentence, we are referring to the bear's paw, indicating possession. Therefore, we need to use the possessive pronoun "whose."
The pronoun "who" refers to a person, so it wouldn't be applicable in this case. "Whom" is used as the object of a verb or preposition, so it wouldn't be appropriate either. "Who's" is a contraction for "who is" or "who has," which doesn't fit the context of the sentence.
Hence, the correct answer is "whose."
