IMO D.
When you think you can or you cannot, you are generally correct.

IMHO D

E is missing the parallelism point. D slightly modifies the meaning but is correct grammatically. "as they would daughters" does not seems to be something complete.

OA is E. How does D change the meaning?

i think D is better than E

- parallel tense ( discipline ...discipline)
- as for comparing verb
Please share your idea and your reasoning :D

HI thegmatbeater,

Popular child psychologists have advocated that parents discipline male children as they discipline daughters.

This means that parents descipline their male children at the same time they didcipline their daughters.

This is not what the sentence intends to convey. Hence D is wrong

Hi all,

Can anyone explain why in this sentence the precedent of "they" is parents and not psychologist?

Thanks a lot!

I agree with you. As is used as "WHILE" in option D.

And WILL implies certainty. Parents don't need to have daughters. So we should choose the 'subjunctive' form and go with would.

It is a killer question for those who are blindly jumping for AS/LIKE and parallelism traps.

"Parents" is near to " they" in comparison to "psychologist"

As you see, its repeated in all options. so, you consider it right.
