p. 219, #12 under Cumulative Review 2. The explanation that matches the Lina Wertmüller question should read, “As a general rule, verbs in the simple past should be paired with verbs in the present conditional, and that is the case here. The beginning of the sentence contains two verbs in the simple past (received, featured). The missing verb then describes a situation that, from the perspective of the past, is still in the future. The present conditional (would characterize) is thus required, making (C) correct.” Corrected 8/24/24. Download updated p. 219.
