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.

Find a “Golden Line” in Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden”. A golden line is a line that stands out to you as important. It could be

Gala2k [10]

One of the "golden lines" from "Walden" could be: "<span>Let us settle ourselves, and work and wedge our feet downward through the mud and slush of opinion, and prejudice, and tradition, and delusion, and appearance, that alluvion which covers the globe, through Paris and London, through New York and Boston and Concord, through church and state, through poetry, philosophy and religion, till we come to a hard bottom and rocks in place, which we can call </span><span>reality."

This line illustrates the romantic idea of nature as a source of spiritual nourishment. More precisely, nature is here represented as a complete opposite of the civilized and urbanized world, with all of its cultural phenomena. According to Thoreau, we shouldn't be wary of the mud in nature. We should be wary of the real, sticky, burdening mud of civilization, which is so difficult to get rid of. It is the mud of prejudice, opinion, tradition, delusion - everything that the civilized people cling to so ardently.</span>
