I think A is fine, it is all present tense.

So if its incorrect its present? :/

eclipsedstar · Answer

No, A is actually fine, the question is asking for the wrong sentence.

And there you have it

anonymous · Answer

I know but what does past and present have to do with it?

eclipsedstar · Answer

Well, past is like "it was", etc. and present is like "it is"

eclipsedstar · Answer

You can't have those in one sentence.

eclipsedstar · Answer

So, the answer of this question is B. It would be correct if it had said "While Mary listened to the radio, I read a book"
