ok i'm having problems spotting grammatical errors in these sentences

1. Sylvia's desire work with horses is fed by a deep love for these creatures.
2. She is captivated by its beauty, strength, and spirit.
3. The horse, Beauty, taught Sylvia that horses have deep relationships with others, even humans.
4. That relationship has continued to impress me and others for years.

i'm suppose to use either Verb-Tense error, Subject-Verb agreement, Homophone, Pronoun error, adjective error or adverb error.

thanks a bunch
i kind of need it by tomorrow pinch.gif

1. Sylvia's desire to work with horses is fed by a deep love for these creatures.
2. She is captivated by its their beauty, strength and spirit. (remove comma after strength)
3. The horse, Beauty, taught Sylvia that horses have had deep relationships with others, even humans.
4. That relationship has had continued to impress me and others for years.

1. Obviously missing a word.
2. No error, but you could remove the comma. If it is a continuation of the first sentence, 'its' should be changed to 'their'.
3. 'Taught' is past tense, so have should also be past tense.
4. 'Continued' is past tense, so 'has' should be past tense.
