Question

does the following text have an inappropriate shift in verb tense? if so, fix any verbs that dont match the tense of the verb in bold. if not, submit the text without making any changes. mrs. murphy provides her employees with unlimited sick days and personal time off, believing that liberal benefits promoted both productivity and a culture of trust.

Explanation:

The verb "provides" is in the present tense. The verb "promoted" is in the past tense. Since the sentence is making a general statement about Mrs. Murphy's beliefs (which are ongoing), the verb should be in the present tense to match "provides".

Answer:

Mrs. Murphy provides her employees with unlimited sick days and personal time off, believing that liberal benefits promote both productivity and a culture of trust.
