Answer:

We can deduce here that the verb in the incorrect tense is: was.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that "...but it was 8:15" after saying "Lydia had planned to leave at 8:00..." isn't correct. It should be "...but it is 8:15" that is the current time she grabs her jacket.

Answer:

C: grabs

Step-by-step explanation:

'grabs' is the only word in the present tense when the situation is in the past tense. Option A('had planned'), B('was'), and D('took') are all in the past tense.
