I put up an incorrect explanation for the answer to the following problem in the Grammar section. The embarrassing mistake has been sitting there for nearly ten months, but nobody noticed or cared to point it out. So, having corrected myself, I will post the problem again.
15. Jerome often referred (A) to art history textbooks (B) while he was sculpting; whenever he learned a new method in art class, he (C) seeks out the work of sculptors who (D) had used it in the past. (E) No error
Answer and explanation (highlight): (C) The answer is "sought" because the words "referred", "learned", and "had used" are all either past tense or past perfect. Whether we use "seeks out" or simply "seeks" is immaterial to the problem at hand. The more obvious mistake is one of tense.
