The sentences we are supposed to complete use several different verb tenses. Let's break down the uses of each of them:
- The simple past tense is used to talk about actions that happened at a specific time in the past. Example: I <u>left </u>home for work at 7:45 this morning. I arrived late.
- The present perfect tense is about actions that started in the past and continue into the present. It is about actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past. Example: I <u>have worked</u> for this company since 2009. / I <u>have been</u> to Japan before.
- The present perfect continuous is used to emphasize the duration of an action that started in the past. Example: She <u>has been studying</u> Korean for 5 years now.
- The simple future is used to talk about unplanned actions that will happen in the future. Example: I think I <u>will call </u>Jim now.
- The present continuous tense is used to talk about actions that are happening at the moment of speaking. Example: Jane<u> is cooking</u> us dinner now.
- The past continuous is used to talk about actions that lasted a while in the past. Example: Jane<u> was cooking</u> dinner when the phone rang.

Answer:
Throughout the passage, the shift in the physical description of the landlady does impact the story's meaning. At first, when you hear what the landlady looks like, you'll think that she's not at all "wrong in the head", but as you progress through the story, the landlady morphs into a detrimental woman. When Billy sees the landlady at the start, he thinks that she " looked exactly like the mother of one’s best school-friend welcoming one into the house to stay for the Christmas holidays (29)". He basically thinks that she's just a kind woman who won't do him any harm. Later, "he caught a whiff of a peculiar smell that seemed to emanate26 directly from her person. It was not in the least unpleasant, and it reminded him — well, he wasn’t quite sure what it reminded him of. Pickled walnuts? New leather? Or was it the corridors of a hospital? (78)". He thought that she was "dotty", but he didn't care, nor does he really pay any close attention to how she acted or looked. All he thought was since she invited him to a place to stay for a good amount of money, she was welcoming and inviting, therefore, he assumed that she was innocent and not at all "wrong in the head". In the beginning, we all thought that this was going to be an innocent story where Billy enters a house and a landlady allows him to stay there. The landlady would mind her own business and be polite and Billy would be safe and just be there for a tiny bit, all happy and everything would be just fine. But no. As the story reveals more, it gets more twisted and dark. The landlady turns out to be purposefully poisoning Billy with tea and probably stuffing him later. All things will turn for a deadly end

Answer:
"The most common theory and all other theories about Nessie are likely not true" is the main idea of the passage. The author argues in the article that Nessie cannot be a plesiosaur or even real because there is no scientific evidence to support those theories. However, there is some proof that people are more likely to believe in something because someone at some prior point in time believed in it. Myths are very contagious and those with imaginations and a desire to believe will ignore common sense and science to believe in what they want.
