The error in this sentence is B. Why? "..occured in Victoria recently.." so this sentence should be in present tensee? "when a cougar is spied freely.." <-- doesn't "is" mean present tense? " if i used "was", then it would mean past tense? So why is B wrong?
1: I don't know
2: ...prior to our disembarking...
3: prey
4: strange sentence! ...the tourists instead of... (not sure of this one)
5: Scientists, (missing comma)
6: was spied. You need a past tense, because of 'such a time'.
"...and may switch to the sport full-time if he ever tires of bikes." <--what does the sentence mean if i add "gets" between "ever" and "tires"? How come i don't need "gets" for this sentence and it makes sense?
