<p>i think #2 has the wrong preposition- it should be “preoccupation with”</p>
<p>I think they’re both NO ERROR. I’m not sure about the second one though; like what vicky_sky said, the preposition seems awkward.</p>
<p>edit - nevermind you said the answers were both c.
eh sorry</p>
<p>I can’t figure out why #1 is C.</p>
<p>Where did you get these problems from?</p>
<p>Are you sure you didn’t mistype the first one?</p>
<p>Second one should be preoccupation with, not in.</p>
<p>Should first be veiled heavily?</p>
<p>I think you mistyped the first one, in the BB (p190, #5), the question reads : "went about heavy veiled which is the problem, cuz it should be “heavily veiled”</p>
<p>Yeah, I mistyped the first one.</p>
