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.

You don't need "also."

A better sentence:

She disliked hiking in the woods, picnicking, and going to the beach.
