As you may know, verb tense has three basic forms—past, present, and future. When constructing sentences, you’ll always want to use the same verb tense within a sentence when describing actions that are/were/will be concurrent. As such, let’s look at the sentences:
1. <em>The soccer team was good and is still improving.
</em>
Sentence 1 is incorrect because “still” implies that the state of the soccer team and its improvement exist at the same time. Thus, the team is good and is still improving is how things should correctly be presented.
2. <em>The singer is singing songs he performed last year.
</em>
Sentence 2 is correct because the actions mentioned are not concurrent. The singer singing is in the present, and the songs were performed in the past. As such, both actions are represented accurately with the correct tense.
This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.

Explanation:
In The Last Truck Ride, by Ruskin Bond, we learn that the potato crop in Nathu´s village had failed, leaving his family unable to buy anything they couldn´t grow despite the summer drought, which was only onions and artichokes. So Nathu left his village to look for a job in the town in the valley. Once there, someone sent him to the limestone depot, where, despite not being able to get a job at the quarries, he did get hired by Pritam Singh to clean and look after his truck.
