I think that 3 is a very tricky question. It is clear that Mr Wendell suggested she write it. But then it is common for managers to 'suggest' things that are actually requests. Or, Ms Brown could have reported an actual request as a suggestion. very tricky...

I guess that you are wright. Concerning the question number 2 it "d" because we can remove that part "at Mr Wendell's suggestion" without affecting the meaning and it becomes clear that it's "cause and effect"
