Which sentence has an inappropriate shift in verb tense?

We will come back next week and take a riding lesson.

The tan horse swished its tail and shook its mane.

We watched as the horses cantering around the corral.

The horse in the stall keeps neighing and stomping its hoof.

Answer:

C. We watched as the horses cantering around the corral.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of the sentence, we notice that the words, we watched, are focused in past tense, whereas we see that the words, cantering around, is focused on present tense verbs. fixing these words together within the same sentence, makes the whole sentence fall out of order, and overall, grammatically incorrect.
