GWD-1-Q1:
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
B. as she was a staunch advocate for liberalized divorce laws, scandalized many of her most ardent supporters by her suggestion of drunkenness being
C. in being a staunch advocate for liberalized divorce laws, had scandalized many of her most ardent supporters with the suggestion of drunkenness being
D. a staunch advocate of liberalized divorce laws, scandalized many of her most ardent supporters by suggesting that drunkenness be
E. a staunch advocate of liberalized divorce laws, she scandalized many of her most ardent supporters in suggesting that drunkenness should be
原解释
staunch，adj，坚定的
scandalize，v，生反感
A，in her suggestion that不简洁，unidiomatic
B，by her suggestion of不简洁
C，in being，with the suggestion of不简洁
D is the best，by suggesting idiomatic，suggest that +虚拟语气省略should(drunkenness be)。
E，最后的should可以省略，scnadzlized前面多了个she
Being 一般是错误答案的标志。
思路：首先注意到中间的是插入成分，句子主谓结构和时态选择排除掉C,E选项，再根据suggest的简洁用法，得到D选项。而且ETS比较喜欢同位语的插入用法，简洁。
