Answer:
The kind of error that occurs is:
B. a pronoun shift error.
Explanation:
Take a look at the following sentence:
"One could have done better if we had studied harder."
See how the sentence begins by using "one" and then suddenly shifts to "we"? This is an example of a pronoun shift error. The pronoun "we" does not agree with "one".
Let's analyze another example:
"Someone is knocking; and they seem to be in a hurry."
Although that is a common structure in colloquial speech, it is incorrect. "Someone" is a third-person singular word, so the pronouns that refer to it should be "he" or "she". "They" is a third-person plural pronoun. Therefore, this example too shows a pronoun shift error.
Answer:
A.

Explanation:
- Simple tenses consist of a main verb conjugated to express the time the action takes place - present, past, or future. In the case of the simple future, the main verb will have the help of auxiliary verbs even in the affirmative form. For example: work - worked - will work.
- Perfect tenses need to use the auxiliary "have" to convey their meaning. "Have" will be the one indicating when the action takes place. The main verb is used in the past participle form. For example: have/has done / had done / will have done
- Progressive tenses indicate that the action lasts for a period of time. They need the auxiliary "be", and the main verb is used in the present participle form. Example: is running / was running / will be running
- Finally, it is possible to have tenses that are both perfect and progressive. In this case, we need both the auxiliaries "have" and "be". "Be" is employed in the past participle form. The main verb is used in the present participle form. Example: have/has been cooking / had been cooking / will have been cooking
