Explanation:

Analyze the underlined segments

1. "it": Used as an object pronoun referring back to the singular noun "goldfish". This is grammatically correct.
2. "it's": A contraction for "it is" in the phrase "Now it's swimming..." (Now it is swimming...). This is grammatically correct.
3. "its": A possessive determiner modifying "tank" ("its tank" meaning the tank belonging to the goldfish). This is grammatically correct.

Evaluate for errors

Since all three underlined segments ("it", "it's", and "its") are used correctly in their respective contexts, there is no grammatical error in the sentence.

Answer:

• it
• it's
• its
• No error (Correct answer)
