<p> There's no doubt that the safe-driving campaign scheduled to begin next week would have been postponed for another week because we lack the time to plan it well . </p>

<p> Being lost in the mountains of Colorado for two days as a boy, Dave is always careful to take a detailed map with him when he sets out for a backpacking adventure in the wilderness.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I’d say d) is the right answer for the first one. It’s the least awkward phrasing.</p>

<p>For the second, I’d say the second underlined phrase is wrong. The campaign beginning “next week” can’t be talked about in the past tense.</p>

<p>For the third, the first phrase is wrong. It should be “Having been.”</p>

<p>Thanks schachwhiz. Is there anyone who can offer more detail for the reasoning behind these answers. :D</p>
