Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

Yes, there is an inappropriate shift in verb tense. The verb "invented" is in the past tense, while "name" is in the present tense. To maintain consistent past tense throughout the sentence, "name" should be changed to "named."

**Revised Text:**

In 1960, two sisters, Theresa and Mary Thompson, invented a solar tepee for a science-fair project and named it a Wigwarm, playing off the Algonquian term for dwelling, wigwam.
