Answer:

d) Jill and I went to the movies; the popcorn and drinks cost us more than the movie ticket!

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the same verb tense throughout a given clause, sentence, or paragraph is an example of verb tense consistency. It's important to maintain the appropriate time frame when speaking; if discussing the past, stick to the past; if discussing the present, remain in the present.
