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>

What argument did Andrew Jackson use to persuade people that the Indian removal act was a good decision?
Otrada [13]

B, removing American Indians will allow white settlers to become wealthier

He declared that they were still barbarians and that trying to understand them has been a failure because the government often slaughtered its own policies or they failed. This is why it was acceptable to exclude them from their territories since they were still savages according to him, and the rest of what resembled to the Native Americans is history.
