<li><p>Hamlet suggested looking…Both gerunds and infinitives can be used as direct objects of a verb. Idiom favors one form over the other in the cases of some verbs and allows either form in the cases of other verbs. In the case of ‘suggested’, the gerund form is preferred. That said, I doubt that this would be tested on an actual SAT. I suspect this question came from Barron’s or some other commercial prep book. Also, ‘just outside’ in the sense of ‘immediately outside’ is fine. The difference is of tone and style, not grammatical correctness.</p></li>
<li><p>No error.</p></li>
<li><p>Would be. The sentence is written in present tense subjunctive mood. ‘Would have been’ is past subjunctive.</p></li>
