Final answer:

The incorrect sentence is option c due to subject-verb agreement error.


Explanation:

The incorrect sentence is:

  • c. Jamie's dog, cat and pet turtle is going home with his friend for the weekend.

In this sentence, the verb 'is' does not agree with the compound subject 'dog, cat, and pet turtle,' which should take a plural verb 'are.'

Corrected sentence: Jamie's dog, cat, and pet turtle are going home with his friend for the weekend.
