A majority of the international journalists surveyed view nuclear power stations as unsafe at present but that they will, or could, be made sufficiently safe in the future.
(A) that they will, or could,
(B) that they would, or could,
(C) they will be or could
(D) think that they will be or could
(E) think the power stations would or could

OA IS D

Journalists view ... but think ... - parallel

Only D/E fits.
E - would or could - both are not necessary and wordy as well

IMO D.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

Sam,

Could you elaborate : why both WOULD and COULD are not necessary?

Sam,

Would and could - both are conditional modal verbs. Using both in E seems to mean more about possibility whereas D is about ability.

Usage of 'would' in D is wrong for two reasons

- We are using present tense in the sentence and 'would' is used with past tense.
- would 'be' is missing and not parallel to could 'be'
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

I am still not convinced with explanation for D/E. Can some expert provide further explanation on this.Can some one explain more about the usage of would and could in SC.

Underneath is how I tackle the question:
1. Parallel structure: view (v) xxx but (v) xxx therefore, I eliminate(A), (B) and (C)
2. D or E.
(D) gramma is correct, meaning is clear because 'will be' talks about the future and 'could be' talks about a possibility
(E)gramma seems to correct but 'would' makes the sentence awkward & more likely happen in the past rather than in the future
Therefore, (D)is the correct answer.
