The sentence that contains an incorrect pronoun shift is:
"I thought I saw a dog bury their bone under the tree."
To identify the pronoun shift, we need to look at the pronouns used in the sentence. In this case, the pronoun "their" is used to refer to the singular noun "a dog," which is grammatically incorrect. The correct pronoun to use in this sentence should be "its," since we are referring to a single dog.
To avoid the incorrect pronoun shift, the sentence should be revised to: "I thought I saw a dog bury its bone under the tree."
