what do you think?

A

anonymous · Answer

A verb tense shift is when the writer accidentally swaps between the present tense  to the past tense. ( for example)

anonymous · Answer

So I believe it is A because it is not consistently in past tense nor present tense.

anonymous · Answer

Yes, I think both of clauses are happening at the same time and there is no need to   use a present and then a past tense in this context. Is it what you think?
