Answer:

The verb went must be changed to maintain verb tense consistency.

Explanation:

Verb consistency means that the verbs in the sentence must agree in number (singular/plural) and tense (present/past/future/perfect/progressive).

Verb tense consistency requires that the verbs in clauses of the same sentence agree in tense.

This is, you must not change from one tense to another.

In the sentence "There are more private K-8 schools than there are private schools for grades 9-12, so many students who attend private grade school went on to attend a public high school", the two are and attend are in present, while went is in past tense.

Using went, then breakes the consisteny.

Thus, went must be changed to maintain verb tense consistency.

In one paragraph, explain what you already think you know about poetry: what is it, how does it work and what is its purpose?

ivanzaharov [21]

Poetry tells a story and expresses emotion in a way that is concise, emotionally charged, and musical. There are different types like a narrative and lyric. A narative tells a story, which has a plot and characters. A lyric poem is more about feelings and emotions. The speaker is the character.

Which reading strategy is best when you are trying to make sense of and retain the information in a textbook?

svetlana [45]

I would say read closely and highlight any important details. If the textbook belongs to the school and you're not allowed to write on it, take some notes and write down the important details on a different piece of paper.
