Instructions

Test 8 covers shifts and mixed constructions (20 questions; 20 minutes). If an original text contains an error of shifts in person, verb tense, voice, mood, and level of diction or an error of mixed construction, choose the one that corrects it; if it is correct, choose NO CHANGE. 

For example,

The virus mutated so quickly that it develops a resistance to most vaccines.

  • The virus mutated so quickly that it developed a resistance to most vaccines.

  • The virus mutates so quickly that it developed a resistance to most vaccines.

  • The virus has mutated so quickly that it develops a resistance to most vaccines.

  • NO CHANGE 

The correct answer is the first one because of the consistency in verb tense.
