There are two sentences.

The use of quotaion marks are unnecessary.

1. This is 2 sentences, not 1.
2. Duck should not be capitalized
3. "Quacked" should not be in quotation marks
4. Echos are quieter than the original noise, meaning that they can't travel farther than the original noise, so saying that it echoed BACK to the duck is unnecessary.
5. "it" is a pronoun with no antecedent. We understand "it" to be the quack, but "quacked" is used as a verb, and an antecedent must be a noun.
6. There are 6 things wrong, not 3

1. "Duck" should not be capitalized.
2. "quacked" should not be in quotations.
3. The cave does not "echo" back, the sound echoes back independently.

1)Caps on "Duck" in the first sentance.
2)"quacked" should not be in quotes.
3)In the second sentence you have an indirect pronoun... The cave echoed what back?
4)This isn't one sentence like your posting title indicates.
Does giving four problems make my answer wrong??

1.) "Duck" should not be capitalized.
2.) the quotation marks around the word quacked should not include the period. should be "quacked". not "quacked."
3.) the misbelief of the urban legend that a duck's quack won't echo. It does echo.

Duck shouldn't be capitalized
Second sentence can't use "it" in reference to a subject in the previous sentence.
The last thing is supposed to be the myth that a ducks quack doesn't echo, watch Myth Busters...it does.

2 traveled has 2 ls
3 presumably is that a duck's quack doesn't echo, but that is a myth.
