D for me too. However, is 'they' justified for demographers alone, and not for forecasts?

+1 for (D) (C) & (D) has the tie but (D) wins because "economic" refers to the "determinants of fertility" whereas "economical" is used in monetary context.

MGMAT says 'would' is used to express the future from the past's point of view. Ex- The scientist believes that the machine would be wonderful The above example is wrong as 'believes' is in present. If believes is replaced by 'believed' the ex becomes correct. Now can someone explain why would is used here as the tense used in the question is simple present/present perfect.

(A) have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economic
(B) have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical
(C) would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical
(D) would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economic
(E) would have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economical
Question 32 Set 1
help "they" in D is correct because it parallel with "demographers" . This situation of pronoun ambiguity is acceptable according to gmat standard. D is pattern of parallelism between main clause and subordinate clause. This kind of paralellism is tested brutally in the question " paris is her home before it it fastionable to be..." which you can search on the internet. the concept tested here is that kind of parallelism.

Now can someone explain why would is used here as the tense used in the question is simple present/present perfect. Hi rajathpanta, The scientist believes that the machine would be wonderful --> is incorrect because here we are mixing present with conditional. Why is this so? because it is a rule. For conditionals there a few rules and you have to just remember them, there is not much to understand here. The rules on Conditionals are governed by set rules. MGMAT has explained the rules quite well, just make a note of them. Consider this sentence: The scientist said that the machine would be wonderful. --> here "would" is expressing past as it is being used in the reported speech. The sentence is correct as per another rule on the usage of would. The scientist believed that the machine would be wonderful - Correct usage, "would" expresses future from the past point of view. Hope that helps, Vercules Hi Vercules, Thanks. Can you explain how this rule is applicable to the question discussed here.
