What error is in the dehydration reaction mechanism shown?

What error is in the dehydration reaction mechanism shown?

▸ Water needs to be added to H bonded to the third structure so that the electrons of the bond can move to form a double bond at the upper right side.

▸ The arrow pointing from O H to SO3H2 should point to S and not to H.

▸ The reaction should begin with an arrow pointing from SO3H2 to OH, not from O H to SO3H2.

▸ OH2 should not have a positive charge as oxygen is too electronegative to be stable in this form.

▸ The arrow shown on the third structure should point to the positively charged carbon, not to the bond at the upper right side.
