Which sentence contains an inappropriate shift in tense? A. We are reading these books, which we got from the library yesterday. B. The dog is playing in the yard as Mrs. Smith worked in the garden. C. He ate his entire dinner, but his stomach is still growling loudly.

I'm pretty sure it is B, let me double check

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

I think it is B, because it is saying that the dog is playing in the yard right now, but Mrs. Smith already worked in the garden. The sentence should say The dog is playing in the yard as Mrs. Smith works in the garden.
