Which answer corrects the shift in verb tense in the sentence?

English

Hello

Answer: C. After James got off his horse, he removed the saddle.

Explanation: this is a subordinated clause. The subordination is giving by the subordinate conjunction "after"; thence, we hope to find 2 parts in the sentence and in past. Therefore, options A and B would not work as they are not using any past. However, in option D, we have first simple past (preterite) and then past perfect, and this is not logically right because of the use of after in the sentence. In this sense, the only correct answer is C. After James got off his horse, he removed the saddle.  Simple past + simple past.

Hope this helps.

A
Not correct. She could have been using references to anything. Not all her references are from literature. Southern Bitter Wormwood is a reference to the wormwood plant which is medicinal in nature and it is very bitter. 

C
Maybe. But there's a better answer. It's not her personality we are drawn to although it is quite bubbly if this passage is any kind of indication. It is the joy she takes in recognizing that Beowulf likes a good drink and he  wanted her to join him and she was delighted by the invitation.

D
She could have been talking about anything that engaged her. It just happened to be mostly about the classics.

B
This is the best answer. C and D are close, but it really is B that we are attracted to. We have our eyes opened to the grand people in books. More than that we feel her joy in Beowulf, her polite tea conversation with Oliver Twist, her astonishing acceptance of the meaning of Sydney Carton's statement at the end of a Tale of Two Cities.
