dived into the pool

dived at the pool

dives to a pool

No improvement

- The original sentence uses "dive," which is present tense, but the context suggests past tense should be used.

- Option 1: dived into the pool

- "Dived" is the correct past tense of "dive."

- "Into the pool" accurately describes the action of entering the water.

- This is the correct substitution.

- Option 2: dived at the pool

- "Dived at" suggests aiming for or towards the pool rather than entering it.

- This option does not convey the intended meaning correctly.

- Option 3: dives to a pool

- This option uses present tense and changes "the pool" to "a pool," which differs in specificity.

- It does not fit the sentence context as the action is in past tense.

- Option 4: No improvement

- The original sentence has a tense error, so improvement is necessary.
