The correct answer is C. The door slammed shut because the wind will be blowing.

Explanation:

In grammar, inappropriate shift in verb tense occurs when the main tense (present, future or past) is changed unexpectedly, and without a proper context or reason. For example, if you change the tense from present to the future even if you are still describing actions that happen in the present.

This occurs in the case of "The door slammed shut because the wind will be blowing" because the actions occur almost at the same time as due to the wind the door slammed shut. Due to this, it is necessary both to be in past " The door slammed shut because the wind was blowing" and it is incorrect to change the tense from past to future which means there is an inappropriate shift in verb tense.

Select the answer that properly completes the sentence.
Reika [66]
The correct answer to this problem would be the word theirs, the first one.

The usage of their/s is kind of a tricky one since it depends on what it usually is pertaining to in the previous lines. In this problem, it would refer to our presentation. If another word, let's say presentation, is added after the blank, then the answer would be their. In this case, there isn't anything after it so the answer would be theirs.

Those that have apostrophes on them aren't an option since it isn't applicable in this situation.
