Identify the sentence with consistent verb tense.

• A. She wrote the report yesterday and submits it today.
• B. She wrote the report yesterday and she submits it today.
• C. She wrote the report yesterday and submitted it today.
• D. She writes the report yesterday and submitted it today.

Answer: (C)

Consistent verb tense means keeping the same tense for related actions in a sentence. The sentence that uses two past-tense verbs—wrote and submitted—keeps the timing uniform: both actions are described as completed in the past, with yesterday and today simply indicating when each action happened. This clear, uniform past tense avoids shifting to present tense mid-sentence, which would create a mismatch with the time references. The other options mix present and past tenses or introduce tense shifts, making the sequence harder to follow.
