<p>Paul Robeson openly condemned bigotry and oppression, [despite him knowing such outspokenness could damage] his flourishing career as a singer and actor.</p>

<p>I chose answer E which was "although he knew that such outspokenness could damage" which was correct but i was also debating choice A... why is E correct?</p>

<p>Help please!! I thought e was wrong because E sounded like an independent clause!! What kind of error is this also?</p>

2

<p>A can’t be right because gerunds require genitive (possessive) pronouns</p>

3

<p>So gerunds require possessive pronouns to make it correct. </p>

<p>Like if I changed HIM into HIS, would that make it correct? I still don’t quite get it sorry :/</p>

4

<p>Yeah, it should be “his”. It sounded horrible when I read it too.</p>

5

<p>Okay! Thanks guys!</p>
