New spray cans, which do not pollute in the way aerosol cans do, hopefully will reduce levels of pollution.
a.) in the way aerosol cans do, hopefully will reduce
b.) in the way aerosol cans do, will, it is hoped, reduce
c.) like aerosol cans, hopefully will reduce
d.) like aerosol cans, would reduce, hopefully
e.) such as aerosol cans do, will, it is hoped, reduce
my concern: why is option A wrong? what is the correct usage of an adverb "hopefully". can't adverb "hopefully" modify verb "will reduce" in option A?
