[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]*Under the condition that Peter is alive and still loves painting. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)](A) Peter loves painting so much that he worked as an art teacher at an elementary school.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)](B) Peter loved painting so much that he worked as an art teacher at an elementary school.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]I learned that it's (A) if you are trying to convey the fact that he still does. However, I read somewhere that it's still best to keep both in past tense in formal writings because (B) does not mean that he doesn't love anymore.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]Is (A) the most correct answer if I want to be clear? [/COLOR]
