SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and it terrified me
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'and he will terrify me' to 'and it terrified me' because the verb is third singular feminine referring to 'dream' and describes a past event, not future or masculine. The pronoun must match the subject in context. |
