E. believing that technological innovation threatens the existing social order, predict the opposite of techno-progressives, who believe that, when properly regulated, technology can empower and emancipate > just akward to start with believing comparing to B which is more smooth. Additionally we needed no comma if we modify the bioconservatives with believing!

Answer B


Ohhh... i missed it completely!

Group - Believes
Bioconservatives - Predict
are the correct pairs. Thanks for pointing out. +1 Kudos for that :)

But still, Can 'Who' refer to a group of people??


I have the same doubt, i thought that can modify group. I think Bioconservatives, group (of people) is understood

A is incorrect. ‘group’ needs to have a singular verb, not ‘believe’. Also ‘prediction’ is compared to ‘Bioconservative’. C is also incorrect. Again ‘group’ is referred to by the plural pronoun ‘predicts’. D is incorrect because it changes the sentences meaning by removing the word ‘bioprogressive’. E is wrong too. ‘predict’ is being contrasted with ‘technoprogressives’.

Thus, B is the correct answer.

Bioconservatives, a group who believe that technological innovation threatens the existing social order, predict the opposite as techno-progressives, who believe that, when properly regulated, technology can empower and emancipate.


(A) a group who believe that technological innovation threatens the existing social order, predict the opposite as techno-progressives, who believe that, when properly regulated, technology can empower and emancipate
-group is a collective noun and is singular and so "believe" is wrong. Also, note that there is a comparison error. A clause "bio conservatives predict the opposite" is compared with a noun "techno-progressives".

(B) a group who believes that technological innovation threatens the existing social order, predict the opposite of what techno-progressives, who believe that, when properly regulated, technology can empower and emancipate, forecast
-All errors in A are taken care in this option.

(C) a group that believes that technological innovation threatens the existing social order, predicts the opposite of techno-progressives, who believe that, when properly regulated, technology can empower and emancipate
Bioconservatives is plural whereas "predicts" is singular verb. There is a S-V agreement error.

(D) a group who believe that technological innovation threatens the existing social order, predict the opposite of believing that, when properly regulated, technology can empower and emancipate
-techno-progressives missing.

(E) believing that technological innovation threatens the existing social order, predict the opposite of techno-progressives, who believe that, when properly regulated, technology can empower and emancipate
- Comparison error.
