(4 points)

Answer 1

In the sentence, the shift in voice occurs between the third-person point of view in the beginning ("When Andrew started the car") and the first-person point of view at the end ("a terrible sound was heard"). This inconsistency in voice can be corrected by maintaining the same point of view throughout the sentence. One possible correction could be: "When Andrew started the car, he heard a terrible sound." This revision ensures that the sentence remains in the third-person point of view, providing clarity and consistency in voice.
