Answer 1

An alternative depending on how you want the final data to be available in your code would be

foreach (explode('<br>', $html->find('p',0)->innertext) as $item) {
    $data[] = trim(strip_tags($item));
}

var_dump($data); // just for testing

Note the user if innertext rather than plaintext. This leaves the
tags in the content to be used to split up the sentences into the array

This will split up the <p> tag content on 1 of the <br> tags into an array, loop over it, remove any trailing whitespace and any other <br> tags and present the final list of strings as the values of an array $data
