Sentence 7: Oliver volunteers to research the cost of a new microwave and refrigerator. Which correction should be made to sentence 7? Reveal Solution Hide Solution Discussion Correct Answer: A 🗳️ The memorandum is in the past tense, so the verb volunteers should be changed to volunteered to be consistent. Choice b is incorrect because the regular noun form cost is required here, not the present participle costing. Choice c is incorrect because knew is the past tense of know, and the adjective new is what is needed here. Choice d is incorrect because new modifies microwave, so there should not be a hyphen between them. Choice e is incorrect because the correction to verb tense should be made.
