Sentences C, D, and E all properly transition between tenses. Sentence C properly transitions from a present continuous action to another present tense action. Sentence C properly describes an event in the present based on the past. And sentence E, properly describes a chain of events using the proper tense transitions.

The correct answers are C) I was thinking about Cape Town when Sathima called. D) He's playing a song he learned from Max Roach. E) By the time the police arrived, the intruder had left.

The shift in verb tenses is acceptable in the following sentences:" I was thinking about Cape Town when Sathima called." "He's playing a song he learned from Max Roach." And "By the time the police arrived, the intruder had left."

We are referring to a grammar subject, tense shift. This means to change a verb tense to another. It could be from past to present in the same sentence or the same paragraph. What the author tries to do when using tense shift is to light up the moment of making it more vivid to improve its narrative.

What, if anything, is wrong with this citation?President John
just olya [345]

too much information in parentheses

This parenthetical citation has too much information in the parentheses.You actually do not need any parenthetical citation for this quote. There are a few reasons why. The first is that the author of the quote is stated in the quote's set up when it says "President John F. Kennedy said,". Also, this quote is well-known so it doesn't require a parenthetical citation since it has been quoted numerous times.

It should also be noted that Wikipedia is not a reliable source and should not be used as a source in a paper. One can easily find the full-text of Kennedy's inaugural address on another, more reliable site.
