<p>Five years in the writing her new book is both a response to her critics' mistrust with her
earlier findings and an elaboration of her original thesis. ^ ^</p>
<p>whats wrong with this sentence</p>
<p>i put mistrust with as the error<br>
idiom error?</p>

<p>or is mistrust with ok</p>
<p>i always lose my 800 because of idiom errors always for the past 3 tests stuck at 700 and 720</p>
<p>“mistrust with” is indeed incorrect.</p>
<p>“mistrust of” is correct but it is not an idiom, and you shouldn’t blame your getting this question wrong on “idiom errors.” an idiom is usually a grammatically incorrect phrase that is so commonly used that it is accepted. </p>
<p>you typically have to memorize idioms to know that they are correct.</p>
<p>knowing “mistrust of” requires reasoning, not memorization.</p>
<p>mistrust is an action. you put “of” after an action in order to indicate something that is acted upon.</p>
<p>the killing of Jane —> Jane was killed
the mistrust of her findings –> the findings were mistrusted, or not trusted</p>
<p>in other words, knowing these phrases is not as simple, or rather, as difficult, as memorizing them. “of” is a preposition that has many definitions. you simply need to apply the correct definition by reasoning, not memorization</p>
