Re: In 1860, the Philological Society launched its effort

You can construct the sentence that way - but none of the choices give you that option. There is more than one way to construct a sentence and still have it be grammatically correct. While "would" is most commonly used for conditional, it is not reflecting conditional tense here. Would ca...
