Explanation:

1. The incorrect pronoun is "it" as "cuts" is plural. It should be "they".
2. The base - root of "unmerciful" is "merci" which is related to mercy. The prefix "un -" makes it negative and the suffix "-ful" makes it an adjective.
3. The possessive noun form of "the sculptures of the artists" is "the artists' sculptures".
4. The sentence "Miranda and Caleb knead and roll out the pizza dough" has one subject - verb combination, so it is a simple sentence.
5. In the sentence "Having never played a sport in my life, I knew I had a remote chance of making the team", "remote" means slight or faint.
