Answer:

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that contains an unnecessary shift in verb tense is the following one: Lee noticed a problem and alerts a teacher.

Explanation:

In the sentence above, the first verb phrase is in the past simple tense and the second one is in the present simple tense. The fact is that the verb tense expresses a sense of time in a sentence, paragraph, or paper. The writer should establish the time perspective in the opening sentence and maintain that tense consistently throughout his or her work. As I've said, the time reference is not maintained within the sentence in question. Consequently, this may cause distractions to the reader and a break in coherence. Therefore, the sentence should be as follows: Lee noticed a problem and alerted a teacher.

The sentence that contains an unnecessary shift in verb tense is the second one - Lee noticed a problem and alerts a teacher.
It should be <em>alerted, </em>which is the past tense as the first verb <em>noticed.</em>

Highlight key images in the passage.
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:gleaming white against the fresh grass outside

blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling

rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea

Explanation:

''gleaming white against the fresh grass outside'' in describing the image of the windows that are considered as <u>the subject of the sentence</u>. It is describing how the look with adjectives such as gleaming and white and it is describing also how opposite is the grass outside that is fresh.

After that, we can see a description of the breeze and its actions, we can see that it blew curtains and how the breeze did it ''twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling''.

The third sentence here is describing the curtains that are making a shadow.
