When Gilgamesh reached the distant home of Utnapishtim the Faraway, he demanded to know how this one man gained everlasting life. Utnapishtim replied that in ancient times, the gods resolved to destroy mankind by a huge flood because humans made too much noise and the gods were very irritated by the uproar of men.

Answer:

A flood myth or deluge myth is a myth in which a great flood, usually sent by a deity or deities, destroys civilization, often in an act of divine retribution. Parallels are often drawn between the flood waters of these myths and the primaeval waters which appear in certain creation myths, as the flood waters are described as a measure for the cleansing of humanity, in preparation for rebirth. Most flood myths also contain a culture hero, who "represents the human craving for life".[1]

"The Deluge", frontispiece to Gustave Doré's illustrated edition of the Bible

The flood-myth motif occurs in many cultures as seen in: the Mesopotamian flood stories, Pralaya in Hinduism, the Gun-Yu in Chinese mythology, Deucalion and Pyrrha in Greek mythology, the Genesis flood narrative, Bergelmir in Norse mythology, the arrival of the first inhabitants of Ireland with Cessair in Irish mythology, the lore of the K'iche' and Maya peoples in Mesoamerica, the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa tribe of Native Americans in North America, the Muisca and Cañari Confederation in South America, Africa, and some Aboriginal tribes in Australia

Which sentence has an inappropriate shift in verb tense? O Miguel will have traveled to ten countries by the time he turns seven
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

O Chloe's whole family laughs whenever she told the funny story.

Explanation:

The verb "laughs" is in present-tense. It is happening now, at this moment. That means that the family is laughing right now.

However, the other verb in the sentence, "told," is in past tense. It has happened some time in the past. Using two verbs in different points in time together to describe a single situation, like this one, is an inappropriate shift in verb tense. How is the family laughing right now when she told the story a while ago?
