A)
B)in the same manner that they would use with
C) like they would handle
D) as they discipline
E) as they would
A, B,C are definitely out - I am interested in discussion between options D and E
(E)? for correct meaning
parents discipline male children as they would (discipline) daughters.
because they(parents) may or may not have daughter. More like hypothetical situation.
(D) cant be correct because it conveys that Parents have daughter.
CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.

D assumes that the parents are already disciplining daughters .. but the 'sense' of the sentence talks about a hypothetical situation about how those same parents who have male children 'would' treat daughters if they were to have them.

give you points for imagination, but your explanation makes little sense.
whats the relationship between the hypothetical situation and
"would" ?

(E) for me.
(D) sounds like they are disciplining boys at the same time as they discipline girls.

Picking E.
parents discipline male children as they would (discipline) daughters.

^ E ^
D seems to be ||, however, "as" seems ambigious there. It may mean "while" as well. So, I choose E.

E. Subjunctive mood again, but it does NOT sound good without the word 'discipline'!

A.

D. as they discipline
E. as they would
"advocated that" x to y as x to z
parents (x) discipline (to) make children (y)
as
they (x) would (to) daughters (z)....E, though I think it should be "as they would discipline" daughters.
D implies that parents discipline male children while ie, at the same time, they discipline daughters.

I don't understand the OR (official reasoning) on this. Please explain your answer and why you did not choose the other answers. I'll give the OA and the OR a little later.

B) in the same manner that they would use with
C) like they would handle

My answer is E. While D is close, discipline is not required to be repeated again in this case. It is implied in E.

Answer E
"Look for clarity and brevity. (E), is best: none of the other, longer choices is any clearer. .......... (D) changes the sentence's meaning.
I picked (E) too. I don't see how (D) changes the sentence's meaning. Anyone?

Hmm, maybe because "as" can be used instead of "because" and that would change the meaning to something like discipline your male children because you know you discipline your daughters.
