Answer:

The answer: The pronoun "his" should be replaced by "its."

Explanation:

In the sentence, "The dog ran fast until his owner stopped it," "his" should replaced by "its" <u>since it should refer to the dog</u> and not the owner.

<u>Possessive Pronoun-</u> this refers to things or objects that show ownership. Examples are: <em>mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its and ours, etc. </em>

The possessive pronoun "its" is used to show ownership of a non-human subject, So, this could refer to things or animals and other living things. This includes the dog.

A better sentence would be: "The dog ran fast until its owner stopped it."

Ann [662]

Answer:

On April 24,1898, Spain declared war on the U.S. Goals during the war were to end Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and U.S expansion into the western pacific and Latin American territories. The U.S won because of their large, skilled army and naval forces and the Spanish surrendered.

Explanation:

During the late 1800s, there were three main causes of the Spanish-American War, each one pushing the U.S to declare war.  These causes are Cuba wanting their independence from Spain.  The growing American imperialism and the sinking of the battleship the Maine were also cause of the war. American Imperialism was another cause of the United States becoming involved in the war.   The imperialism was supported by the Manifest Destiny, which is “a belief that territorial expansion by the United States was both inevitable and divinely ordained.
