<p>This is from QAS May 2007 test</p>
<p>26.) Traffic was heavy, so by the time Brianne finally arrived at the theater, we waited for her for an hour, missing the entire first acts of the play. No error</p>
<p>The answer is B. Is it supposed to be "have been waiting"?</p>
<hr>
<p>14.) Mr. Johnson's assumption that a teenager had robbed his house being unfounded, for the witnesses described the person they had seen fleeing as a woman in her 40s. No error</p>
<p>I know the answer is being unfounded, because it just doesn't make sense. What should be the replacement of that line though? "was unfounded"?</p>

<p>hi petey,</p>
<p>(26)(b) should be "had been waiting," because the waiting was going on before brianna's arrival, which happened in the past.</p>
<p>(14) should be "was unfounded"--good job! :)</p>
<p>but isn't waited past tense as well??..</p>
<p>yes, "waited" is past tense.</p>
<p>this is kind of a difficult thing to explain in non-grammatical terms, but let me try--</p>
<p>we don't just want a phrase that's in the past tense. we need a phrase that shows that the waiting was in the past tense <em>even with respect to the arrival, which is also in the past tense</em>.</p>
<p>"waited" by itself only shows that the waiting happened at some point before the sentence was written. "had been waiting" shows that the waiting happened in the past even relative to the arrival itself. we know this is needed because of the phrase "by the time," which shows that the waiting happened before the arrival.</p>
<p>by the way, it could also be "had waited" as opposed to "had been waiting." they indicate slightly different things, but they'd both be acceptable in this sentence.</p>

<p>By the way, thanks!</p>
<p>24.) After the uprising of October 10, 1911, that has led to the establishment of a Chinese republic, many Chinese Americans decided to return to China in hopes of a bright future there. No error</p>
<p>The answer is has led. Is it supposed to be that "led" to the ... I always have trouble with has, have, had. Can someone tell me the difference between those 3?</p>
<p>I guess there are no writing geniuses in CC</p>
<p>no their amen't</p>
<p>Yes, it should be "led"</p>
<p>6.) Air pollution caused by industrial fumes has been studied for years, but only recently has the harmful effects of noise pollution become known. No error</p>
<p>(I got this one right right. The answer is obviously has. But what would that change to? to "had"?</p>
<p>it should be "have" since "effects" is plural and it's still in the present tense.</p>
<p>the whole verb phrase there is "have become", and the noun it goes with is "effects."</p>
