[From a TOEIC test]
11. In the coupon, what was suggested about the event on June 19?
12. According to the memo, what are sales representatives asked to do?
----
Why are they not in the same tense? A possible answer I assume: question 12 is in the historical present while question 11 isn't.
But I still think that it would be better if question 12 was in the past tense (or if question 11 was in the present tense).
What do you think?
