Answer

Brief Explanations:

The bold verb "ravaged" is in the past tense (simple past) as the event is in 1880 (past time). The verb "suffers" is in the present tense, which is inconsistent. To maintain tense consistency, we change "suffers" to its past tense form "suffered".

Answer:

In 1880, a series of deadly tornadoes ravaged Missouri; the town of Marshfield suffered the worst losses.
