This is the sentence which contains an inappropriate shift in tense:
The dog is playing in the yard as Mrs. Smith worked in the garden.
It is not correct to use present continuous in one part of the sentence, and past simple in the other, in this case.

The dog was playing in the yard as Mrs. Smith was working in the garden.
The dog played in the yard as Mrs. Smith worked in the garden.

SIMPLE SENTENCE: A simple sentence is one which is made up of only one independent clause; it has a single subject and a verb. A simple sentence can stand alone.

COMPOUND SENTENCE: A compound sentence is a sentence that has two or more independent clauses which are joined together by a coordinator such as for, and, but, etc.
Note that an independent clause is a sentence that can stand alone because it contains a subject, an action and a complete thought. A dependent clause refers to a sentence that can not stand on its own, that is, it does not express a complete thought.

COMPLEX SENTENCE: Is a sentence that combines one independent clause with at least one dependent clause.

COMPOUND COMPLEX SENTENCE: This is a type of sentence that is made up of two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST FOR THE RIGHT ANSWER!!
Daniel [21]

By spending a lot of time describing the scaffold, the author reinforces the humiliation and shame that Hester suffers, which makes the plot dark and tense.

<h3>How the scaffold is linked to humiliation and shame.</h3>
  • Hester is being accused of adultery and this is a very serious crime in society.
  • Because of the gravity of the situation, it was decided that Hester would go to the scaffold, where the entire population could see her and realize her shame.
  • In the scaffold, Hester suffers the height of her humiliation and shame, which makes the narrative very dark, sad, and uncomfortable.

These sensations reinforce the tension of the story, leaving the reader involved.
