In the novel, Jane Eyre must make many difficult choices, (like when she forces) herself to leave the house of Mr.Rochester, the married man she loves
a.like when she forces
b.and,as an example, when she forces
c.for example, by forcing
d. as exemplified by when she forces
e. including forcing
Why is e correct? Aren’t gerunds wrong regularly?
Gerunds are often wrong, but not always. (A), (B), and (D) are wrong b/c choices aren’t times, so “when” is inadmissible (B) has other flaws as well. © is wrong because she doesn’t make choices “by forcing”–the “forcing” is the choice and isn’t a means to a choice. (E) is right because her “difficult choices” “include” “forcing.”
