Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

She continued her working on women’s suffrage through speaking engagements and organization efforts.
  1. She continued her working on women’s suffrage
  2. She continued, her working on women’s suffrage,
  3. She continued her work on women’s suffrage
  4. She continued, by her work, on women’s suffrage
Explanation
Answer: C - The best choice is “She continued her work on women’s suffrage”

In the original sentence, “working” refers to a person that performs an action. The sentence does not contain a parenthetical expression, so commas are unnecessary. “Work,” which refers to effort to accomplish a goal, best conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.
