Yes
No
I don't know
No
Based on the provided passage, there doesn't seem to be a tense inconsistency error. The sentence uses present tense ("demonstrates," "isn't") consistently throughout. Therefore, the answer is "No."
To determine if the passage contains a tense inconsistency error, we need to analyze the verb tenses used in the sentence. In this case, we have the verb "isn't" in the present tense and "composed" in the past tense. This suggests a potential tense inconsistency.
To investigate further, we look at the subject of the sentence, which is "David's story." Since the story is in the past, it would be grammatically appropriate to use a past tense verb in the sentence, such as "wasn't."
Therefore, based on the analysis, it seems that the passage does contain a tense inconsistency error. The correct answer is "Yes."
