Question

what change, if any, is necessary in the underlined portion in the following passage? meanwhile, estelle, was trying to figure out what forest frannie should say to the bear cub, when she found it. (paragraph 8) meanwhile; estelle, figuring out to the bear cub when she found them.

Explanation:

The original sentence has a subject - verb - object structure that is correct. However, the pronoun 'it' refers to the 'bear cub' which is singular. The only option that makes sense in terms of pronoun - antecedent agreement and context is the original form. There is no need for any of the other changes.

Answer:

No change is necessary.
