Which sentence contains an inappropriate shift in tense?

English
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
7 0
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 possible correct forms of this sentence are:
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.

This question is mostly interpretative. However, the majority could agree that the most appropriate answer would be C, as the figurative language and imagery used by the author are used in a manner that they're descriptive enough to keep the suspense of the scene, but not long enough to distract the audience from the events of the plot.

This is an internal conflict. It is internal because the person in it is struggling whether to do what the person wants to do or what is expected of the person. External would be between people and not between multiple parts of a single person.

Add or remove commas, if necessary, until the sentence has correct punctuation.
White raven [17]

On the way to the ice rink, Cat Grant picked up hot chocolate and warm mittens at the store.

-The first comma is necessary to indicate a break in the sentence.

-The second comma initially given can be removed since commas aren’t needed to separate sequences of two.
