You need to underline <u>or he could have dug a hole underneath it</u>.
Your correction is correct (except for choice rather than choose).

So for the next sentence:
She disliked going to the beach, hiking in the woods, and she didn't care for picnics either.
So I would underline: and she didn't care for picnics either.
So my new sentence would be:
She disliked hiking in the woods also she did not care for picnics and going to the beach.
She disliked going to the beach, hiking in the woods, and she didn't care for picnics either.
So I would underline: and she didn't care for picnics either.
So my new sentence would be:
She disliked hiking in the woods also she did not care for picnics and going to the beach.

You don't need "also."
A better sentence:
She disliked hiking in the woods, picnicking, and going to the beach.
