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.

It should be <em>alerted, </em>which is the past tense as the first verb <em>noticed.</em>

Tim insisted that he deserved it, because Karen had had the last
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

OA. A parent is usually wiser than a child, and logic is not always the  best way to solve a problem.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the problem of who gets the last apple or how to equally distribute the fruit so as not to anger anyone in the central conflict. While Tim insisted that he deserves it as Karen already had the last orange, Karen believes she should have the last apple considering she's hungrier than Tim.

With the mother's intervention, there is a probable solution to that dilemma. Thus, not only did the mother gave a solution for the problem, but she also brings out the theme of how adults, parents are usually wiser than children and that applying logic is not always a sure way of solving a problem.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
