I think the answer is D.
Right! :-)
You are absolutely correct.
Thanks, i think i'm getting a hang on it.
GOOD!!! That is great!
Yes, you are correct. The sentence that contains an error in verb forms is sentence D:
D. Kwami Nkrumah studied in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s and then in the 1950s becomes the first President of Ghana.
The error is in the verb form "becomes," which should be "became" to maintain parallelism with the previous verb "studied."
To identify the error, you need to pay attention to the verb forms used in each sentence. In this case, the tense of the verbs should be consistent and match the timeline of the events being described. In sentence D, the verb "studied" is in the past tense, but "becomes" is in the present tense, which is incorrect.
To correct the sentence, you can change "becomes" to "became" to maintain the past tense:
D. Kwami Nkrumah studied in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s and then in the 1950s became the first President of Ghana.
