Can you please explain the difference b/w will and would in the given 2 questions?

Thanks!

our CAT is correct. the question you have posted from the other guys is ridiculous: there is nothing wrong with A, and i would in fact claim it is a better answer than B. please stick to trusted sources for practice questions, or you will only get confused and frustrated.. :)

Tim,

Could you please explain why Option A is better than Option B?

the only difference i see between A and B is "would" versus "will" and "could" versus "can". since we are talking about a proposal, which hasn't materialized yet, it is preferable to use the subjunctive, hence "would" and "can" in this case..
