Even though “Ethan Frome”, novel by Edith Wharton, was written over a hundred year ago, it is still widely read today because the theme of the story is world-wide and all-time relevant. This universality of the theme, representing the society and morality as an obstacle to fulfill desires (in this case love), makes “Ethan Frome” relevant a hundred years after and it would probably still be relevant in future, as it’s close to every human’s heart.

Both “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare and “Ethan Frome” by Edith Wharton deal with the problem of society and morality as an obstacle to fulfill certain desires, which is in both cases forbidden love. Considering the theme, both “Romeo and Juliet” and “Ethan Frome” have the same tragic tone, but the ends show how different and twisted destiny can be.

<span>The love story of Ethan Frome and Mattie is still relevant today, after a hundred years, and probably will stay relevant in future as the theme of the story is on universal level of human struggle with feelings, social norms and morality. </span>

Which revision of the first sentence follows the style guide and best retains the clarity of the original?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Choice A:  We conducted a survey of those in the immediate area and asked which type of notary stamp each liked best.

Essentially, the only thing that differentiates Choice A from the rest, is it's pronoun used.

In the original, the pronoun phrase used in relation to the adjective "those," was "he or she."

From this we can infer that Choice B is out of the question since it only states "she."

Choice C, though a tempting choice, is incorrect since the word "they" isn't inclusive enough.

Choice D is erroneous because it does not provide more clarity than the original. In fact, it doesn't even seem like a revision since the two pronouns were joined by a forward slash.
