Although some parents believe that the local all-girls school should begin to admit boys, others claim that girls would participate actively in class only if they had all-girls classes.

a.that girls would participate actively in class only if they had all-girls classes.
b.that girls will only participate actively in a class if it is all-girls.
c.that girls will only participate actively in an all-girls class.
d.that girls would participate actively only in a class that were all-girls.
e.that girls in all-girls classes will participate actively in that situation only.

OA C

I chose D.I rejected C because according to me the placement of "only" is incorrect. We dont want "only participate". Only should be close to "all-girls class". Please correct me if wrong.

" in a class that were all-girls" in D is wrong.

C is the only one close. However, I felt C would be better it was:
that girls will participate actively only in an all-girls class.

Why shouldn't the correct answer contain would? I thought the underlined part had hypothetical case " If they had all girls class, girls would participate actively"

Somebody pls correct me here.
