两道题，我看了解释也不懂，请指教
| 第一题
When a married couple has their first mate.
A) discovered that they are incompatible, they should divorce and marry someone quite different than
B) discovered that they were incompatible, they should divorce and marry someone quite different than
C) discovered that they are incompatible, they should divorce and marry someone quite different from
D) discovered that they were incompatible, they should divorce and marry someone quite different from
E) discovered that they were incompatible, they divorce and marry someone quite different from
(C) is the correct answer. There are two problems with this sentence: (1) the use of the perfect tense, and (2) the use of 'different than' (which should be 'different from', the correct idiom). The time in the main clause, should divorce, is not in the past tense{为什么用现在时？}; hence, it does not qualify for past perfect in the subordinate clause. Note: a married couple (singular) becomes plural when they are viewed as individuals: they are (plural) incompatible.

E) The typical holiday shopper, although seduced by row upon row of novelty gifts, tends to purchase the most practical
(D) is the correct answer. In the original, the subject, shopper, does not agree with the verb, tend. Choice D corrects this error without making additional, unnecessary changes.{E为什么错了？}
