Distinguish which sentence uses the incorrect verb tense. Whenever we go to the mall we used to get a soft pretzel. We will go to the store, however, we’ve not left yet. When purchasing food, one should always order clearly. We went to the mall yesterday, but didn’t find anything.

Whenever we go to the mall we used to get a soft pretzel.

Explanation:

The first sentence has an error in the use of the verb tense. The tense agreement between the dependent clause and the independent clause is incorrect. In the dependent clause 'Whenever we go to the mall', the tense 'go' does not agree with the verb 'used to' in the independent variable 'we used to get a soft pretzel.'

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
