Question

read the sentence: tension erupted in the room when it was revealed that the villain knew that the spy withholding information. which is the best revision of the sentence? tension will erupt in the room when it was revealed that the villain knew that the spy withholding information. tension erupted in the room when it reveals that the villain knew that the spy withholding information. tension erupted in the room when it was revealed that the villain will know that the spy withholding information. tension erupted in the room when it was revealed that the villain knew that the spy withheld information.

Explanation:

The original sentence uses past tense, so the revised sentence must maintain consistent past tense and correct verb form. The error in the original is "withholding" (incorrect verb form after "spy"); it should be "withheld" (past tense to match the timeline of the revealed information). The fourth option fixes this verb error while keeping all past tense elements consistent.

Answer:

D. Tension erupted in the room when it was revealed that the villain knew that the spy withheld information.
