Explain the phrase 'out of misplaced love' as used in the passage.
Answer: B
The phrase means love that is harmful, as the key reads it.
The passage says: 'Parents are often aware of this, but out of misplaced love for children, they hardly ever discipline their eating habits.' Misplaced love is affection directed in the wrong way: parents who know the food is poor but still let the children eat it do them harm in the name of love.
'Love that does not exist' and 'love that is blind' say the love is absent or unseeing, but the passage presents it as real and aware ('often aware of this'). 'Love that lacks discipline' describes the result, that parents do not discipline eating habits, more than the love itself, and it is the nearest rival; I could not confirm from a dictionary which of the two the Board meant, so this follows the key.
