0Yes, that may be it, Paco. I don't know whether 'complaining how' requires 'about', but I thought it probably does in formal composition. On the other hand, it seems to me that the logic of #19 can take either 'would read' or 'would have read'. My conclusion is that it is not a well-written problem. 02br
