While some academicians believe that business ethics should be integrated into every business course, others say that students will take ethics seriously only if it would be taught as a separately required course.

(A) only if it would be taught as a separately required course
(B) only if it is taught as a separate, required course
(C) if it is taught only as a course required separately
(D) if it was taught only as a separate and required course
(E) if it would only be taught as a required course, separately

[spoiler]OA: B[/spoiler]

Why is C wrong?

Thanks.

C distorts the meaning by placing 'only' next to 'course required sepearatley'.
In the original, 'others say that students will take ethics seriously only if it would be taught as a separately required course' the only problem is adverb 'separately' modifying past participle.

B corrects this.
