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>

In the "I’m a Believer" scene at the end of the movie "Shrek," the three blind mice are turned into the horses in one frame, but
eduard

a contingency break; inattentional blindness

This scene is an example of a contingency break. A contingency break is when, in a piece of media (usually children movies or TV shows) a scene occurs that is immediately retconned in the next scene. A common example of this is in children's cartoons, when a character may have gotten their clothes dirty in one scene, but they are back to normal in the next with no time for them to have been cleaned. This applies to the movie <em>Shrek</em>, as the three blind mice are turned into horses in one frame, but are back to the status quo in the next.

Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible, but unexpected, object/action because one's attention was on another object/action. A contingency break can be considered a "real-life" example of inattentional blindness because, if this scene occurred in real-life, you would not notice the mice turning back to normal as your attention was not focused on them.

Which of these is a good example of the author's use of dialogue to build suspense?
True [87]

The dialogue which is a good example of the author's use of dialogue to build suspense is, “You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed.”

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

Many a times, authors make use of words or dialogue to create a suspense in the minds of readers, as in it makes a person curious or anxious to known about the uncertainty of what happened or might happen. The dialogue ‘You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed’ is taken from a short story ‘The Cask of Amontillado’ written by Edgar Poe. This dialogue builds suspense in a sense that the words ‘as once I was’ makes a reader anxious about what might have happened in a narrator’s life that he’s no more happy. The dialogue leaves space for uncertainty of the events that took place.
