and lets not assume that daughters are any better
that's how we discard option D..lemme know the OA 😉

Having the vocal cords being removed in an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Stephen Hawking, the world-renown physicist, communicates by typing his speech into a computer that then speaks the words that he selects on his keyboard.
(A) Having the vocal cords being removed in an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(B) In spite of the vocal cords being removed in an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(C) Because there had been an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that lost him his vocal cords
(D) The vocal cods being removed in an operation partly needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(E) His vocal cords removed in an operation partly needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Here is my expl:
A. having + being is not a good combo. Also, if you look at the meaning it sounds like he actually removed the vocal cords...
B.Inspite of requires a subordinate conjunction, a contrast. Also we get a weired meaning that inspite ..... he is still typing.
D. this is a proper clause and we need a modifier.
E. This is just a phrase. Look at "removed in an operation partly needed" does not make any sense.
Only C made some sense to me where we have 1st becasue to explain the typing and the 2nd because or the operation.
Please correct me incase i made a mistake in this expln....

If going by your argument we should use

E)
then 'would' should infact be placed not before 'daughters' but the 'male child'.. which is incorrect for uncertainties
uncertainties: hopes/proposals/request/desires
in these cases we use that + infinitive (without to)
