Concerned at the increase in accident fatalities, Tennesse adopted a child-passenger protection law requiring the parents of children under four years of age to be restrained in a child safety seat.

A. parents of children under four years of age to be restrained in a child safety seat
B. the restraint of parents of children under four years of age in a child safety seat
C. that parents restrain children under four years of age in a child safety seat
D. that children be restrained under four years of age in a child safety seat by their parents.
E. children to be restrained under four years of age by their parents in a child safety seat

The correct answer is C but i think it's wrong as the option starts with 'that' after 'the' which sounds awkward. I didn't find any answer as correct answer.

Please share your views.

Thanks a ton!

That seems odd. Are you sure that 'the' before 'parents' isn't included in the underlined section? If it was this would make more sense.

No, it's not underlined. That's a mistake i guess. Should have been underlined.

requiring that is a proper idiom here.

E.option E doesnt make any sense. requiring children to be restrained under four years of age...example of misplaced modifiers. it means parents in a child safety seat

D. D states that a law is required so that children be restrained ??? Thats wrong!

A. A says parents of children be refrained ? Wrong meaning

B. also says the same thing as A.

C is the only one that uses the modifier @ the correct place.

IMO C
:)
