b. false....reiterated
c. mythical...fabricated
d. accurate...examined

<p>is the grammar correct? i think theres a typo
shouldn't "what" be replaced with "that"?? that way, it would make a lot more sense
the sentence is confusing and awkward</p>

<p>the grammar is strange i agree. especially here "guilty of taking on trust what they should have ------- in a conscientious fashion. "</p>

<p>yes it could be a possible typo. actually im almost fairly certain its a typo.</p>

<p>that's good news</p>

<p>No, "what" is correct; it's the subject of the clause "what they should have..." It's grammatically the same as the phrase "take what you can get."</p>
