Identify the sentence with semantic error.The dog chased its tail with a spoon. Answer: The dog chased its tail with a spoon.

The sentence "The dog chased its tail with a spoon" contains a semantic error because it's illogical and nonsensical for a dog to use a spoon to chase its own tail, even though the grammar (using "its") is correct; semantic errors relate to meaning, not grammar, suggesting the action described is absurd.
