The Board Edits This Passage

The idea
Sheridan wrote "When an old Bachelor takes a young Wife". The board prints "marries a young wife", regularising the verb and the capitals. The sense is unaffected here, but the habit matters: quote the source, and expect a printed exam text to be tidied rather than exact.
In practice
Exam texts are tidied texts.
Where people slip
The printed passage is not the manuscript.
