Answer MUST be B.

they refers to which of the two...?

parents or "emotional sensitivity and attachment style" ?
I guess...its not that clear...

Hmm...

They refers to parents because:

1. Parents is the subject of its clause, and they is the subject of its clause.
2. it is parents who can analyze NOT the "emotional sensitivity and attachment style".

If it were in my real exam, I would chose B.

Thanks.

What did you mean by that? OA?

It is my opinion. Maybe you will choose other option that is viable in your opinion.

Thanks.

I will go with 'D'

I think the answer is D.
In fact, if B the pronoun "they" ,referring to Parents, is not necessary.
Moreover, I think it is not quite correct to analyze a data in adjusting something.
However, in D, Parents analyze data, and then adjust...

(A) style, and in analyzing the meaning of the data they gather from these observations, can adjust

(B) style, and they analyze the meaning of the data gathered from these observations in adjusting

(C) style and, in analyzing the meaning of the data gathered from these observations, adjusting

(D) style and, analyzing the meaning of the data gathered from these observations, adjust

(E) style and, in their analysis of the meaning of the data they gather from these observations, they adjust

Please explain answer choice in detail[/u]

between B and D, i would love to choose D because i dislike " in adjusting" in B
what is the OA?

I will go with 'E'. Pls post OA.

The basic structure looks like ``... that parents do "A" and "B" ``
Hence, We have divided the sentence on the basis of ideas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The behavioral model of child development recommends that parents :
(a) pay attention to their child's emotional sensitivity and attachment style, and in analyzing the meaning of the data they gather from these observations
(b) , can adjust their parenting style to encourage their child to be more independent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a and b option above, we can see that ||ism is not maintained. Hence ``, can adjust" should be made ``adjust".

Also, in a above, the sentence contain 2 list. i.e.
- pay attention to their child's emotional sensitivity and attachment style
- , and in analyzing the meaning of the data they gather from these observations

``,and" doesn't look ok, as the subject ``parent" are same for both the sentences. Hence ``,and" should be converted to ``and,"

'D' is the most nearest choice which works out on the basis of two rules above.

This Q comes on web first time.

what is the OA?

my pick is "d".
plz post OA

D it is

One more for B!!

(Verb)Parallelism is maintained. pay/analyse are parallel.



The behavioral model of child development recommends that parents pay attention to their child's emotional sensitivity and attachment style and, analyzing the meaning of the data gathered from these observations, adjust
their parenting style to encourage their child to be more independent.


Intended meaning of the origina SC is recommendation of the BM to parents to take care of X and Y to do Z.

In D.... its' not clear who is "analysing"?

I guess the answer should be D.
Please post the official answer of this question and I would appreciate if you can give the source os this question also.

I think grammatically B and D, both are correct.

But D is better because of the meaning of the sentence.
