<p>1) The success of the (women’s) rights movement can be measured by the steady rise in the number of women who (suffers) from male diseases. No error</p>
<p>** a) (suffers is the right answer) But is the correct verb SUFFERED or HAVE SUFFERED ??? </p>
<p>2) Susan was unhappy (when) her mother (asked) her to babysit her younger brother because Susan (found) his behavior (irritating). No error.</p>
<p>** The right answer is (when). Why is that right? Shouldnt it be NO ERROR? Please explain.</p>
<p>-thanks!</p>
<p>1) ‘women’ is plural. it should be ‘women who suffer.’ it should be present tense because the sentence is describing how the success of the movement affected present conditions</p>
<p>2) it should be ‘Susan was unhappy that…’</p>
<p>“Susan was unhappy when her mother asked her to babysit her younger brother…”</p>
<p>Up to this point the sentence seems correct because it is describing Susan’s state during the time that her mother asked her to babysit her brother. But when the sentence continues into “because Susan found his behavior irritating” we are not sure if this also occurred during the same time, or before it. The sentence means to say that Susan found his brother’s behavior irritating before her mother’s request (something she had developed - she had always found him to be annoying) as well as during it</p>
<p>The sentence uses simple past so it would be confusing to use ‘when’</p>
<p>For example, “I was happy when I picked up the 20 dollar bill because I was poor” describes 3 things (picking up the bill, being happy, and being poor) that occurred at the same time. On the other hand, “I was happy that I picked up the dollar bill because I was poor” describes being poor before picking up the bill.</p>
<p>That second question is a good one. Nice explanation, crazybandit.</p>
