hi please solve this A majority of the international journalists surveyed view nuclear power stations as unsafe at present but that they will, or could, be made sufficiently safe in the future. (A) that they will, or could, (B) that they would, or could, (C) they will be or could (D) think that they will be or could (E) think the power stations would or could
View (verb) X as blah blah BUT Y blah blah.. i.e. JOurnlist VIEW but Think..is the construct..
I think, you can come down to D and E straight way..
Big question is: IS They in D refers to Journlist or Power station..
Rule says any pronoun after comma refers to preceeding noun...but in case of conjunction..(BUT, AND etc..) refers to the subect fo first clause...here...the subject of the first clause seems to be Journlist..and They should ideally refer to Power station...
I seriously don't know as why "Nuclear" is dropped from power station in last option..
Moreover, little catch over would or will...and No Presence of BE after would in E..
I'll go with D..
Can any one confirm my take on D, please OA please..

(A) that they will, or could, (B) that they would, or could, (C) they will be or could (D) think that they will be or could (E) think the power stations would or could
the starting sentence is main clause so the second sentence should also start with the same clause.So they refers to journalist, however in the context it should be referring to power stations. D/E seems correct. I will go with D here.E seems to be more appropriate if nuclear power station is used.

IMO option E is correct, 'they' in this context engenders ambiguity. A, C & D because we can't use WILL with 'think' ie journalists are not certain. Out of B & E i chose E for removing ambiguity
i need help here: can we use 'they' for only people?

I will use elimination...
Will go for greatest.. & essay ON ...So i can kick off B, C..
Lets use our modifier strategy.., there are 2 of them in here: 1. the greatest economist of the twentieth century, clearly modifying the person: John Maynard Keynes 2. Cambridge genius, has to modify the person Sir Newton..
Now you can see that the name of Newton does not follow immediately and after comma another modifer starts.. The scientist and mathematician.. IMO, it should either have the name of of the Newton or a pronoun which refers toi newton...

D) Seems to do so, My money is on D...OA please..
Even i worked the problem in the same manner as you did and my answer is "D" too but this question is from OG-10th and they say its "A". Can anybody give a explaination for the answer ?

I think the answer should be "C" "think" is not req. as its the journalists "view"...D & E are out. I think whenever its "OR" its always selecting one of the two ways and both should complete the sentence correclty taking each on of them separately.
So, A & B is gone as comma will make the sentence like this- A) that they will be made.... that they or could be made.... wrong Similarly for B.

Can you tell me the number in OG-10, because i could not find it in there in OG 10...
