If it were not clear that she is determined to move away from this area, we would do everything we could/can to keep her here.
This is a sentence from the book 'Grammar and Vocabulary for Cambridge Advanced and Proficiency" by Richard Side.
The answer sheet states that "could" as the better option, while "can" is more intuitive for me.
Is "can" grammatical in this sentence, if so, is there a reason for "could" to be the better option?
