Answer 1

The correct sentence is 'I should have run to the mall, but I got really tired and would have had to sit down by the fountain for a break.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sentence that fixes the error in the question is: C: I should have run to the mall, but I got really tired and would have had to sit down by the fountain for a break.

The phrase 'should have ran' is incorrect because the past participle of 'run' is 'run,' not 'ran.' Therefore, it should be 'should have run.' The phrase 'would had have to sit' is also incorrect; the correct form is 'would have had to sit.' The corrected sentence maintains past tense coherence throughout.

Answer 2

Hi!! Your answer is going to be B. I should have ran to the mall, but I get really tired and would had had to sit down by the fountain for a break.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you say "I should have run to the mall" that doesen't really make sense, so fix it by using ran. "I should have ran to the mall" that makes more sense!

2. In the sentence it mentions she GOT really tired but she didn't actually go to the mall that day, which makes it to "get".

Hope this helps you out! Have a good day!
