Answer:
The sentence that has an inappropriate shift in number is:
If my friend calls, tell them I'm at my violin lesson.
Explanation:
In the sentence "If my friend calls, tell them I'm at my violin lesson," the speaker is at first talking only of one person, which is why he uses "friend" in its singular form. However, later in the sentence, the speaker refers back to the noun "friend" with the pronoun "them", and this is where the inappropriate shift in number happens. "Them" is a plural noun. For the sentence to be correct, the speaker would have to use either "him" or "her" to refer back to "friend".

Answer:
Lennie
Explanation:
Lennie is totally defenseless and rather petulant. He cannot avoid the dangers presented by Curley, Curley’s wife, or the world at large. His innocence raises him to a standard of pure goodness that is more poetic and literary than realistic. His enthusiasm for the vision of their future farm proves contagious as he convinces George, Candy, Crooks, and the reader that such a paradise might be possible. But he is a character whom Steinbeck sets up for disaster, a character whose innocence only seems to ensure his inevitable destruction.

Explanation:
The short story "Packing" by Jerome K. Jerome revolves around three friends and their packing attempts before their trip. The narrator narrates the events that occurred during their best efforts to be ready on time for their trip, infused with numerous disastrous turn-outs and disturbance from his pet dog Montmorency.
Priding himself with being an expert in packing, the narrator began packing for everyone but ended up confusing things. Then, when the other two friends, Harris and George took it upon themselves to pack the rest of the stuff. By the time they could manage to get everything (they believed to be needed) packed, it was already 12:50 a.m.
