Understanding Verbs: Tense, Voice, and Mood

Question 1 • LHS English 10

Read the sentences.Akira sewed one button back on his jacket. Then, another one falls off when he put it on to go outside.Which correction of the underlined verb fixes the inappropriate shift in tense in the second sentence?

Answer
w
will fall
h
has fallen
f
fell
h
had fallen

Explanation

The first sentence uses the past-tense verb “sewed,” and the second sentence describes what happened next. Change “falls” to “fell” to keep the verbs in the past tense. “Fell” is the correct choice because the button came off when Akira put the jacket on.
