Tongxun, the pic you attached as ur image is genuinely cute!

My grandma on my father side passed away last night. That is Merphew's Law ( the spelling is not correct!)The law indicates that if something goes wrong, other things will follow to worsen the situation. Due to the scheduled test date, I cannot leave BJ for her funeral, which I feel regretful for the entire morning.My grandma on my mother side passed away last year and I did not come back to visit her in the last minute because of the shoooooot CPA exams!

Genuinely wish that all the GMAT participants do their best in their tests!
Free from worries no matter what happens!

DWBH "DON'T WORRY. BE HAPPY" the words in the LONG VACATION, a Japenese TV series,may be helpful in tough situation.

GOOD LUCK!

(C) while the English priests, who shunned the odiferous herb, soon became ill

when major Verb (became) is in past tense, we shouldn't use V+ing to express it.
We may use "Having shunned the ... ", or "who shunned the ..." to complete the sentence.

Same reason for the second question above.
