Answer

The verb or verb phrase with an inappropriate shift in tense is "needed."

Explanation

The passage is primarily set in the past tense, as indicated by the verb "paused." The verb "needed" is consistent with this past tense. However, the phrase "were drawing" is also in the past tense and aligns with the overall tense of the passage. Therefore, there is no inappropriate shift in tense in the passage. The passage consistently uses past tense verbs to describe the events.
