Errors present- SV agreement error and Verb tense
No SV agreement either. Keep A.
B is Out.
The original tone of a sentence deals with the event in present time.
Thus C is out.
D is out.
E is out and we are left with A as winner.
Quote:
No errors. Simple present tense works fine to express the idea.
No SV agreement either. Keep A.
Quote:
Tax breaks make a plural subject whereas does is a singular verb.
B is Out.
Quote:
While C does not presents a SV agreement error, when compared to A, C makes unnecessary introduction of past tesne in later part of sentence.
The original tone of a sentence deals with the event in present time.
Thus C is out.
Quote:
SV agreement error. Tax cuts- plural, has-singular.
D is out.
Quote:
E also tempers with tenses and unnecessarily introduce present continuous tense.
E is out and we are left with A as winner.
Tax cuts for ordinary Americans boost economic growth and create jobs, while tax breaks for the rich do little to help the economy.
A. Tax cuts for ordinary Americans boost economic growth and create jobs, while tax breaks for the rich do little to help the economy. --- The correct choice
B. Tax cuts for ordinary Americans boosted economic growth and created jobs, while tax breaks for the rich does little to help the economy.--- ‘tax breaks’ … ‘does’ is an awful SV error.
C. Tax cuts for ordinary Americans have boosted economic growth and created jobs, while tax breaks for the rich did a little to help the economy.--- ‘have boosted’ and ‘did a little’ is a parallelism problem. Past and present perfect tense events cannot happen at the same time.
D. While tax breaks for the rich had done little to help the economy, tax cuts for ordinary Americans has boosted economic growth and created jobs. ---‘had done’ and ‘has boosted’ is the same problem as in C. 2. 'has boosted' is SV error.
E. Tax cuts for ordinary Americans boosting economic growth and creating jobs, while tax breaks for the rich do little to help the economy. --- The first part before while is a fragment
