The sentence with an inappropriate shift in verb tense is:
"The door slammed shut because the wind will be blowing."
In this sentence, "slammed" is in the past tense, while "will be blowing" is in the future tense, creating a tense inconsistency. A better construction would be: "The door slammed shut because the wind was blowing."
