Which of these is an inappropriate shift in verb tense?

English
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]4 years ago
5 0

<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”.

How are today actors or celebrities similar to the actors of Shakespeare time how are they different
sweet [91]

  ∵∴∵answer∵∴∵

Similar to the actors of Shakespeare's time is how they are dressed in the best styles of the day, and specific actors were known for playing very specific roles (for example Johnny Depp) Differences would be how in the past many of the actors were rumored to be vagabonds or vagrants, which does not happen often today, and women are allowed to be actresses in modern-day whereas they were not allowed in Shakespeare's time.

Which word describes Old Kaspar's attitude, in "The Battle of Blenheim," about the human skull his grandchildren find?
garri49 [273]
The history of English is conventionally, if perhaps too neatly, divided into three periods usually called Old English (or Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, and Modern English. The earliest period begins with the migration of certain Germanic tribes from the continent to Britain in the fifth century A.D., though no records of their language survive from before the seventh century, and it continues until the end of the eleventh century or a bit later. By that time Latin, Old Norse (the language of the Viking invaders), and especially the Anglo-Norman French of the dominant class after the Norman Conquest in 1066 had begun to have a substantial impact on the lexicon, and the well-developed inflectional system that typifies the grammar of Old English had begun to break down. The following brief sample of Old English prose illustrates several of the significant ways in which change has so transformed English that we must look carefully to find points of resemblance between the language of the tenth century and our own. It is taken from Aelfric's "Homily on St. Gregory the Great" and concerns the famous story of how that pope came to send missionaries to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity after seeing Anglo-Saxon boys for sale as slaves in Rome: <span>
