  1. B. "Has created" suggests an ongoing process, but it is a completed task that happened "last year" -- it should be "created."
  2. B. "Have" should be "had" because we're talking about the past (in her childhood).
  3. E. No error.
  4. D. The speaker is asking the reader to imagine in the present tense, so "could not" should be "can not."
  5. A. "Was" should be "is" because the speaker is talking about something now that Ms. Zuiki "will" do in the future.
  6. B. "Is" should be "was" because we're talking about the past.
  7. A. Correct as is.
  8. D. "Have opposed" is correct because the oppositions were ongoing in the past.
  9. D. The sentence is in present tense ("she determines" and "she wants"), so present tense ("wavers") should be the correct tense.
  10. C. "When the president was" is the correct tense because the sentence is in past tense. Be careful of punctuation -- D is correct except for the semicolon!
