a. awkward
b. concision
c. discipline and handle not ll
d and e are difficult
i think d is incorrect because male children could be the "they" disciplining daughters
e avoids the confusion
E

A.
B. in the same manner that they would use with
C. like they would handle
D. as they discipline
E. as they would D. 'advocate that' requires the subjunctive and requires the base form of the verb.

D.
Conciseness. All the other ones were not concise enough or awkward.

A.
B. in the same manner that they would use with
C. like they would handle
D. as they discipline
E. as they would Throw out A and B because they are just ridiculously awkward. 'Like' is used to compare nouns and 'as' is used to compare actions. We are comparing how parent's discipline children of different genders, so that's an action. Eliminate C. This leaves D and E. Plug both into the sentence and then compare: (D) Popular child psychologists have advocated that parents discipline male children as they discipline daughters. (E) Popular child psychologists have advocated that parents discipline male children as they would daughters. They both sound right but D is more complete than E. There might also be a parallelism issue here, "...parents (would) discipline male children as they would (discipline) daughters." Am I right in stating this or am I just making something out of nothing? Final Answer: D.

Good analysis Yih Wei - i think D too. It does not seem to me like they necessarily need to be parallel but as you said D seems more complete and is parallel so it seems better.

E sounds the best - the verb form should be in subjunctive mood.

I would go for D. E has one more problem, 'would'. Would normally used for contiondal way.

How can D be correct? It seems to change the meaning. If they discipline male children as they discipline daughters, that means to me that they are disciplining them both at the same time. It has an ambigous meaning. E seemed concise and retained the meaning of the original sentence.

However, when we use "as" for comparison, we don't consider the two actions happening at the same time. I am confused by this subtle difference.

These two things aren't really happening at the same time. One is a theoretical "as"

+1 for E, E maintains parallelism. the word 'Discipline' is not needed to maintain parallelism here.
