To determine the best choice that describes the shifts in time in the passage from "The Interlopers" by Saki, it's important to analyze how time is presented in the text. The story primarily unfolds in the present, with characters reflecting on past events and decisions as they interact with each other.

Given the options, the most appropriate choice would likely be:

**c. There is a shift in focus from the past and then to the present.**

This choice acknowledges that while the narrative is set in the present moment, there are instances where characters recall past events that shape their current situation. If you have a specific passage in mind, I could provide a more tailored analysis based on that text.
