State lawmakers are considering a law allowing children of divorced parents as young as seven to choose the parent with whom they will live, which will likely dissuade those parents from disciplining or punishing their children.
A) allowing children of divorced parents as young as seven to choose the parent with whom they will live, which will likely dissuade those parents
B) that would allow children as young as seven whose parents are divorced to choose the parent with whom they will live, a policy that would likely dissuade those parents
C) that would allow children of divorced parents as young as seven to choose the parent that they will live with, a policy that will likely dissuade their parents
D)allowing children as young as seven whose parents are divorced to choose the parent who they will live with, likely dissuading those parents
E)that will allow children as young as seven with divorced parents to choose which parent with whom to live, a policy likely dissuading their parents
Here the OA is B.But according to MGMAT one of the reason behind rejecting E is the usage of WILL.
MGMAT says "The future tense will allow suggests that the law is certain to go into effect, contradicting the sentence's description of the law as under consideration. Since the law is still under consideration, the conditional (would allow) is more appropriate."
MGMAT has given other reasons too such as awkward construction which I totally agree.
But I have a difficulty on understanding what's wrong with the usage of WILL
