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.

Which feature most helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an old English poem ?

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The feature that most helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an Old English poem is alliteration

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the reference text, here is the text:

Read the passage from "A Shield."

A lonely warrior,I am wounded with iron,

Scarred with sword-points,sated with battle-play,

Weary of weapons.I have witnessed much fighting,

Much stubborn strife.

First of all, we need to take in consideration that alliteration is the principal literary device Old English poetry to bind the words, this lines have several examples of this technique such as "wounded with" or "stubborn strife", the other options are not as representative of old English poetry as this literary device.

Shifting the focus to how the author needs his mother's support at the end of the argument might be considered an example of false causation fallacy.

Explanation:

In case of false causation the causes of the fallacies are incorrectly identified. In this case although one event is related to another event and the events take place at the same time . Although if the events are talking place at the same time but the events are not connected to each other. In case of false fallacy real relationship do not exist between the variables . One of the example of false causation is that whenever I go to the the bed at night for sleep , sun also goes down as well.
