1. Once the suspension bridge replaced the cantilever, the United States becomes the world leader in this new type of long-span bridge building. No error.

I think becomes is wrong. Is it supposed to be changed into “would become”?



2. Ancient Greeks believed in giants—mythic heroes and semi human creatures, they are many times the size of ordinary folk.

A. creatures, they are

B. creatures, and they were

C. creatures, and

D. creatures;

I think it’s B because of the agreement in tense?
