The correct answer is D, because that is the only appropriate shift in tense. A isn't correct because present perfect tense (have raced) is used inappropriately, when it should have been past perfect. B is also incorrect because past perfect means that that action happened before the storm blew, which is not the case. C features future continuous tense, which is impossible due to shift in tense. Therefore, the answer is D, because there is an appropriate tense in that sentence, past simple.

melisa1 [442]

The sentence that is more clear to the readers is -Neil Armstrong, before he became the first man to walk on the moon, was an aerospace engineer, naval aviator, test pilot, and professor – that’s quite a list of accomplishments!

Explanation:
