Choose an option
  • A
    that all the Indian children
  • B
    if all the children of India
  • C
    all Indian children
  • D
    No improvement

Answer

Correct Answer: all Indian children

Explanation

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

Concept/ApproachAfter '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 Answerall Indian children
