PASSAGE
The following paragraph is from a student's compare-and-contrast essay on two educational philosophies:
"John Dewey, the American philosopher, argued that education should be rooted in practical experience. He believed that children learn best when they are actively engaged with their environment, rather than passively receiving information. His rival, E.D. Hirsch, had disagreed with this approach and insists instead that a shared body of cultural knowledge forms the foundation of an educated citizenry. Both philosophers influenced educational policy throughout the twentieth century, and their debate continues to shape curriculum discussions today."
The paragraph contains a tense error involving the description of Hirsch's position. Which answer correctly identifies the error, provides the right correction, AND accurately explains the grammatical principle involved?
