Which sentence is not an example of an English language pangram?
An English language pangram is a sentence which uses every letter of the English alphabet at least once. They have been used to display typefaces, test equipment, and develop skills in handwriting, calligraphy, and keyboarding.
The only sentence above that does not contain all 26 letters of the English alphabet is the sentence "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog". It is missing the letter s.

Veronica Luby-Hoey, No there is no letter S in the. It would have to be jumped over the lazy dogs.

Albeck Wilson-Smith, “n” is in “boxing”. But where’s the “y” in that sentence?

pabjetster, you’re wrong. “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog” is missing the letter “s” so it is the ONLY one which DOESN’T contain all the letters in the alphabet.

trina l scott, the question is correct, Three of these sentences contain all 26 letters, the fourth one doesn't, therefore the fourth one is not a pangram
