He had not read half a dozen pages when the expression of his face begins to change.

  • A.his face begins changing
  • B.his face began changing
  • C.his face began to change
  • D.No correction required

Answer: C

It should read his face began to change.

The main clause is past - he had not read - so the when-clause must be past too. Begin takes either an infinitive or a gerund, and to change is the smoother of the two here.
