The correct correction that should be made to the underlined word in the sentence is "whose."
To determine the correct correction for the underlined word in the sentence, we need to understand the context and meaning of the word as well as the grammar rules that apply.
The word "that's" is a contraction, which combines the pronoun "that" and the verb "is". However, in this sentence, we need a pronoun to refer to the bear's paw.
The pronoun used to refer to a bear should be "whose". "Whose" is possessive and is used to indicate possession or ownership by someone. In this case, we are referring to the bear whose paw has been damaged by a hunting trap.
Therefore, the correct correction for the underlined word in the sentence is "whose".
