Torn between D and E but on the test I would go with E...
Can we get the OA on this one? |

reachac,
Can you tell how you choose D? The reason I didn't go with D even if D was concise when compared to B is, I wasn't sure if "ellipsis" is used properly with choice D.
I mean, when we see the choice D, I thought "has not......be allowed to drive her father's car. " doesn't make snese(omitting ,probably will never be). Apprciate your response as to what made you choose D? |

My Choice is A. Below are my explanations
B --> allowed to drive is redundant.
D --> there is some uncertainity in the sentence (probably) so need would rather will.
E --> Same as D
Between A and C.
C --> for the past tense you need "been" and future is proper here.
Let me know whether this is correct.
what is the OA? |

(A) has not been and probably never would be allowed to drive--probably-would make sense together--the answer
(B) has not been allowed to drive and probably never will be allowed to drive--probably will--will is too definitive a word to go with probaly
(C) has not and probably never would be allowed to drive--been is required
(D) has not and probably will never be allowed to drive--been is required
(E) has not and probably never will be allowed to drive--been is required |
