Although the politician was initially very sensitive to be criticized by the press, he quickly became more confident about responding to reporter's sometimes pointed questions. no error</p>

<p>can someone explain the concept why B is wrong?
cb suggested "being criticized" , what i think is that the B needs a noun form, perhaps "criticisms" works even better than 'being criticized', though both are correct. can someone also explain D..
ahh gerunds. hate those~</p>

<p>you can’t be sensitive to “be criticized”
you have to be sensitive to SOMETHING
being criticized is a something</p>

<p>gerunds, like you said.</p>

<p>Where do you use theories related to gerunds here?</p>

<p>Normally, gerunds aren’t verbs ending in -ing acting as nouns?</p>

<p>Like, ‘Do you mind my asking you?’</p>

<p>being criticized</p>
