Which word group best completes the sentence without introducing an inappropriate shift in tense?


Whenever my sister is chopping onions,







A

she always kept tissues nearby.





B

she always has been keeping tissues nearby.





C

she always keeps tissues nearby.





D

she always is keeping tissues nearby.

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is C. Because the verb in the example sentence is in present continuous, the verb in the rest of the sentence should be in a present tense as well. And since this is an action that happens quite often, or 'always', as the sentence itself said, then present simple 'keeps' should be used here.
