Explanation:

Question 17

Sentence 21 has a relative - clause error. The original sentence “Diego was the one who suggested she begin wearing colorful traditional Mexican clothing” is correct. Option A changes the subject “Diego” to “Diego was the one, who suggested she begin” which is incorrect. Option B “who begin wearing” has a verb - tense error. Option C “who suggested she began wearing” has a verb - tense error (should be “begin” as in the subjunctive mood for “suggest”). Option D “wearing colorful traditional Mexican clothing” is a prepositional phrase that doesn't correct the main structure.

In a formal report, “approximately” is a more appropriate and formal word choice than “like” (which is more informal) or “something like”. “About” is also less formal than “approximately” in a formal academic context.

The subject “Many of her paintings” is plural, so the verb should be “show” (plural form). Option A has a verb - agreement error (“shows” for a plural subject). Option C “her interpretation about...” is an incorrect prepositional usage. Option D “her interpretation among...” is also incorrect.

Answer:

No correction needed (the original sentence is correct).
