Sentence improvement — remove redundant complementizer and fix number/capitalization: prefer 'While we would like all Indian children to go to school …' over 'we would like that all Indian Children …'

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: all Indian children

Explanation:


Given sentence
While we would like that all Indian Children to go to school, we need to ponder why they do not.


Concept/Approach
After 'would like', English takes an object + to-infinitive ('like someone to do something'). The complementizer 'that' is unnecessary here. Also use lower-case 'children' and concise phrasing.


Correction
'would like that all Indian Children to go' → 'would like all Indian children to go …'


Why alternatives are weaker
'that all the Indian children' → still keeps the incorrect 'that' construction.'if all the children of India' → changes meaning to a condition.'No improvement' → retains structural error and odd capitalization.


Final Answer
all Indian children
