<ol>
<li>Unfortunately, the opening of the new library complex, a) previously/ b) scheduled for/ next september, c) would be/ delayed for several months because of construction difficulties. e) no error</li>
</ol>

<p>The answer to that is C, which I got</p>

<ol>
<li>Some of the workers a) who resent/ the supervisor's authority b) would probably/ feel uncomfortable c) if/ they were to acquire the independence that d) they demand e) no error. </li>
</ol>

<p>Answer E</p>

<p>I don't get why 22 wouldn't be b and how it is any different than question 21.</p>

2

<p>the problem is with using be after would. Probably is an adverb not a verb.</p>

3

<p>but 22’s answer is no error</p>

4

<p>that’s the point, there’s no error because its an adverb.</p>

5

<p>probably is not the issue. it’s the “would” that I thought was wrong. I realized it was because it’s in the conditional tense so it’s all good.</p>
