This is all about SVA: the group who believes (singular) and the bioconservatives (who) predict (plural)

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

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

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

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

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.
