Take a look at the sentence again:

Claude glanced at his watch, took a last sip of coffee, and began his trek to Dr. Grayson’s three-hour snooze fest on the French Revolution.

When you list actions, you must use parallel structure. Here, glanced, took, and began are all simple past tense verbs, so the list is parallel.

Go to the next sentence.
