Cancer claimed Kim Suozzi at age 23, but she chooses to preserve her brain with the dream that neuroscience may one day claim her mind.
 

  • A.chose to have her brain preserved with the dream that neuroscience might one day revive her mind
  • B.chose to preserve her brain with the dream that neuroscience may one day revive her mind.
  • C.chose neuroscience to preserve her brain with the hope that one day it might be revived.
  • D.no improvement needed.

Answer: A

It should read chose to have her brain preserved.

The sentence is about a past event, so the verb must be past: chose, not chooses. And she did not preserve the brain herself; she arranged for it to be done, which the causative have ... preserved expresses.
