Which of these is an inappropriate shift in verb tense?

English
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago

<u>Answer</u>:

"A: Cody is laughing " is an inappropriate shift in the verb tense in the given sentence "Cody is laughing at Megan's joke when suddenly the phone went dead,  He tries calling her back, but she is not answering."

<u>Explanation</u>:

The reference of the sentence is that Cody was laughing at Meghan’s joke, i.e. something happened in the past and the phone went dead. Now, when he is trying to call her back, she is not answering. The second part of the sentence when Cody is trying to call her again and she not answering is in present tense, so options B and C are in correct verb tense. Option D is also correct, because action happened in the past, so ‘went’ is used in “phone went dead”.

Incorrect verb tense is “Cody is laughing” as this action happened in the past and it should be “Cody was laughing”.

A paper-filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 2.6 V and then disconnected from the charging circuit. The diel
kati45 [8]

Given:

Potential difference between capacitor plates = 2.6 V

Dielectric constant of paper , K = 3.7

Solution:

When air is filled, let the potential difference between capacitor plate be V'

Now, after being disconnected from the battery, the charge stored in the capacitor will remain constant

And when dielectric is introduced between the capacitor plates, the potential difference will be reduced by k times a:

V = \frac{V'}{K}

Therfore, V' = KV = 3.7 × 2.6 = 9.62 V

The resulting potential difference of the capacitor, V' = 9.62 V
