Question

Which sentence uses an inappropriate shift in voice?

Directors organize and carry out the filming of a movie or television show.
Jason's efforts were thwarted by the rain; his hopes were dashed in a moment. The child loves baking, especially when he is helped by his mother.
Kerry prepared a delicious feast and enjoyed it with her family.

Answer 1

The correct answer is the second one.

Jason's efforts were thwarted by the rain; his hopes were dashed in a moment. The child loves baking, especially when he is helped by his mother.

The first sentence is in the past tense: "were thwarted" and "were dashed." The second sentence is in the present tense: "loves" and "is helped." This shift is incorrect and should be revised so that all verbs are consistent.
