Hi Ngoanhquan
How do you think it might be reworded? You should give it a try first.
I'm not quite sure what your teacher wants, but I might begin a reworded sentence with the word "If".

| Maybe the idiom "caught up in" should be part of this? |

Aw come on guys ....
The prime minister, caught personally involved in scandal, would be disastrous.
This also works ... The prime minister caught personally involved in scandal, would be disastrous.
Don't you remember the words ...
A woman without her man would be worthless.
and
A woman, without her, man would be worthless.

Sounds odd.
For me:
Were the prime minister to be caught being involved in this scandal, it would be disastrous.
Should the prime minister be caught being involved in this scandal, it would be disastrous. |
