Korean Political History I: Chapter 6, Exercise 2 — Possible Solution
======================================================================

TASK
"Park was elected with 92.3 percent in 1972." Identify the error and rewrite.

ERROR
92.3 percent is the reported approval in the 21 November 1972 referendum on
the Yushin Constitution, held under martial law. It was not Park's election
result. Under the new constitution he was chosen indirectly and, per the
source, won unopposed in 1972.

REWRITE
"In a referendum on 21 November 1972, held under martial law, the Yushin
Constitution was reported approved with 92.3 percent support; Park was then
chosen president indirectly, and won unopposed."

CAUTION
The figure is a reported one, and the source does not say how the vote was
run beyond the martial law setting.
