Answer:

As lightning struck the sky, Milo sprang from his hiding place from under the bed, and he was running fast toward the living room.

Step-by-step explanation:

An inappropriate shift in the verb tense can confuse the reader and make reading difficult. It can even obscure the sentence's meaning. To correct the shift, the verbs in the sentence should be in the same tense if the time frame is the same. The incorrectly written sentence has verbs that are in the past tense and past progressive tense. One way to correct this sentence is to change the tense of all the verbs to the past tense. The correct sentence will be "As lightning struck the sky, Milo sprang from his hiding place from under the bed, and he ran fast toward the living room."
