The scientists found that (P) / leopards tend to hoist prey (Q) / that are between half and one and a half times it's own weight. (R) / No Error (S)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation: The error in the original sentence is the use of it's when it should be their to indicate the possessive form for leopards.
The pronoun their agrees in number with "leopards", which is plural, whereas it is singular and not suitable in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The scientists found that leopards tend to hoist prey that are between half and one and a half times their weight."
