During her presidency of the short-lived Woman’s State Temperance Society (1852-1853), Elizabeth Cady Stanton, as she was a staunch advocate of liberalized divorce laws, scandalized many of her most ardent supporters in her suggestion that drunkenness should be made sufficient cause for divorce.
(A) as she was a staunch advocate of liberalized divorce laws, scandalized many of her most ardent supporters in her suggestion that drunkenness should be - That must be used as "Suggest" is command subjunctive form. Also should can never be used in subjunctive form hence incorrect
(B) as she was a staunch advocate for liberalized divorce laws, scandalized many of her most ardent supporters by her suggestion of drunkenness being - Usage of being is incorrect here
(C) in being a staunch advocate for liberalized divorce laws, had scandalized many of her most ardent supporters with the suggestion of drunkenness being - Usage of being is incorrect here
(D) a staunch advocate of liberalized divorce laws, scandalized many of her most ardent supporters by suggesting that drunkenness be - CORRECT as suggest is subjunctive form so that will be used and be is used aptly here
(E) a staunch advocate of liberalized divorce laws, she scandalized many of her most ardent supporters in suggesting that drunkenness should be - Incorrect as she is redundant and should be and suggesting both cannot be used together
hazelnut sir Please suggest whether my reasoning is correct and POE
