I need a proper explanation why E is wrong?

E changes the intended meaning
Quote:
According to the local government official, if the proposed bill of rights were modified and customized for Jefferson County, it would work, and would change the local face of politics indelibly.
The intended meaning is that the proposed changes would work and as a RESULT, it would change the face of politics. In E, the meaning being portrayed is that the bill working and changing the face of politics are two independent events.


And in option A, the which refers to "it could work" and change the face of politics. got it. thanks.

Why D is wrong?

Hello thakurarun85,

We hope this finds you well.

Having gone through the question and your query, we believe we can resolve your doubt.

Option D alters the meaning of the sentence through the phrase "would work and change"; the construction of this phrase incorrectly implies that the bill of rights will certainly work and as a separate action change the local face of politics; the intended meaning is that the bill of rights might work, and as a result change the local face of politics.

We hope this helps.
All the best!

A. According to the local government official, if the proposed bill of rights were modified and customized for Jefferson County, it could work, which would change the local face of politics indelibly. 'which' must modify noun. It cannot modify the action 'work'. 'indelibly' should modify 'change'.

B. Changing the local face of politics indelibly, the proposed bill of rights would work if it were modified and customized for Jefferson County, according to the local government official.Change in meaning; 'could' changed to 'would'. Moreover, 'indelibly' must modify 'change'

C. If the proposed bill of rights were modified and customized for Jefferson County, it could work, indelibly changing the local face of politics, according to the local government official. Correct. 'could' correctly shows uncertainty. verb+ing 'changing' shows the result that will happen if the bill works out. 'indelibly' changing is correct.

D. If the bill of rights proposed were modified and customized for Jefferson County, it would work and change the local face of politics, according to the local government official.could changed to would. bill will workout & change in politics have been shown as separate event

E. According to the local government official, if the proposed bill of rights were modified and customized for Jefferson County, it would work, and would change the local face of politics indelibly.same as D
