Answer: 3. As I came in the front door, Eddie is going out the back door.

Step-by-step explanation:

Came is a past-tense verb.

Is going is present tense.

While all of the other sentences feature a consistent verb tense (either present OR past tense), the sentence above is the only one that features a shift.
