In case no improvement is needed, choose the alternative that indicates 'No improvement.' Those who aspire to be journalists would have a keen interest in politics. Correct Answer Should have

The correct option is 2 as the modal 'should' be used in lieu of ‘would’. ‘Should’ indicates  ‘the trait or something is required’. Modal is a type of a helping verb (auxiliary verb) which is used to indicate possibility, ability and permission. Here, ‘should have’ should be used because to become a journalist, one should be interested in learning its quirks and have a solid understanding of politics.

Therefore, the correct sentence is:

Those who aspire to be journalists should have a keen interest in politics.
