• Question 71: Replacing "workers" with "her family of workers" completes the metaphor comparing Jones to the head of a family.
• Question 72: "NO CHANGE" is correct as the original construction is clear and grammatically correct.
• Question 73: "NO CHANGE" as "Instead of" is the appropriate phrase to contrast the efforts with the trust workers had.
• Question 74: "their behalf" is the correct possessive form.
• Question 75: The essay focuses on Mother Jones, one figure in the labor movement, rather than summarizing women's contributions to early - twentieth - century labor law reform.
