Answer:

D) The children were roaming through the field without a care in the world.

B) The tired old dog was searching for water.

Explanation:

A present participle is a word that ends with the suffix "-ing" and a verb is usually used to show the action done in a sentence.

Therefore, from the above sentence, the sentence that uses a present participle as part of a verb is option D because the word "roaming" as used in the sentence shows that an action was taking place.

Mrrafil [7]

A positive thing about being a hero is that people not only admire him or her, but also has the possibility to inspires others to do or behave in the correct way. In addition, everybody has the opportunity in life to become a hero just by working hard in order to provide their family all they need or just giving back something that someone lose in the street.

When a pronoun does not agree in number or person with an antecedent that appears earlier in the sentence, what kind of error oc
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The kind of error that occurs is:

B. a pronoun shift error.

Explanation:

Take a look at the following sentence:

"One could have done better if we had studied harder."

See how the sentence begins by using "one" and then suddenly shifts to "we"? This is an example of a pronoun shift error. The pronoun "we" does not agree with "one".

Let's analyze another example:

"Someone is knocking; and they seem to be in a hurry."

Although that is a common structure in colloquial speech, it is incorrect. "Someone" is a third-person singular word, so the pronouns that refer to it should be "he" or "she". "They" is a third-person plural pronoun. Therefore, this example too shows a pronoun shift error.
