True or False: The following sentence demonstrates the correct usage of literary present? Paul claimed, “Everyone will be homeschooled in the next ten years.”

Answer 1

False. The literary present refers to using present tense verbs when writing about events that take place in a work of fiction. Therefore, "will be" should read "is."
